A out of chaos came heaven and earth
Answer:
Northern factory owners received some protection from British competition
Explanation:
I saw it on a quizzes.
The correct answer is:
a. Cotton Mills
During the Reconstruction Era, Cotton became a protagonist in the industrial growth of the Southern States. Southern capitalists sank Money into cotton rather than factories or land. More precisely, they invested in slaves; the average slave owner held almost two-thirds of his wealth in slaves in 1860, much less than he held in land.
The answer would be the leather product industry. During the period of 1879 to 1909, there was a rise in less expensive products overall. So it happened to the iron and steel industry which rose because it had just become cheaper to manufacture at high quantities; but what increased its presence in the economic field, was the cotton industry, that was rising quickly, which made the leather products, that were more costly and time-consuming to manufacture to fall three rankings from 1879 to 1909.
