The reason why these areas in Africa, Hong Kong, and Australia, bear the name, "Victoria" is to honor the British Queen at a time when Great Britain ruled those areas.

<h3>Why are there several places named "Victoria"?</h3>

Queen Victoria was one of the longest-serving monarchs in British History and to commemorate her, there were several places named after her by the British.

The British did this in places where they ruled over such as Hong Kong, Zimbabwe (Lake Victoria) and Australia.

How did the cotton gin affect both small upcountry farmers and large lowcountry farmers?
drek231 [11]

The correct answer is small upcountry farmers had little money to purchase slaves to operate the cotton gin, leaving the industry to low country farmers.

The cotton gin was an invention made by Eli Whitney in 1793. The cotton gin was a machine that easily removed seeds from cotton. Before this invention, cleaning cotton was a long and tedious process. With the new cotton gin, it drastically reduced the time and price of producing cotton. This resulted in many plantation owners and farmers in Southern states (specific the low country) switching to growing cotton as their main cash crop.
