From 1750 onwards a new industry emerged in Britain - the production of cotton cloth. Wool production had previously been Britain's major industry, but cotton had one key advantage - machinery could process cotton fibres better than wool.

As a result it was in cotton production that the industrial revolution began, particularly in and around Manchester. The cotton used was mostly imported from slave plantations. Slavery provided the raw material for industrial change and growth.
The growth of the Atlantic economy was an integral part of the growth of exports - for example manufactured cotton cloth was exported to Africa.
The Atlantic economy can be seen as the spark for the biggest change in modern economic history. The Atlantic economy in the 1700s was founded on slave labour.
The only major Northern victory during the early stages of the war came during the battle of Antietam.
The battle of Antietam was also known as the Battle of Sharpsburg. It was a battle of the American Civil War, fought on September 17, 1862, between Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and Union General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac, near Sharpsburg, Maryland and Antietam Creek.

The Second World War occurred over the period spanning from 1939 to 1945, although the incidents leading to it happened even before. It involved almost all of the word countries, and had disastrous results for many countries, especially Japan, with Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombings.
