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.

All of the above were done by most Democrats throughout the Jackson administration, with the exception of speaking out against the use of the veto.

<h3>What is the legacy of Jackson's presidency?</h3>

The first president was elected by appealing to the majority of voters rather than the party establishment: Andrew Jackson. He established the rule that states are not allowed to flout federal law. He did, however, sign the 1830 Indian Removal Act, which resulted in the Trail of Tears. Politics and the public sphere had always piqued Jackson's interest. He had traveled to Nashville on political business, and in 1796, he was admitted to the convention that wrote the Tennessee state constitution.
