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.

HACTEHA [7]
I don’t believe this question truly applies to any of the candidates, but I would have to go with Andrew Jackson. Jackson won the popular vote and had the most total votes, but John Adams still won in electoral college. Therefore Jackson would be your answer because he received the most votes but failed to gain the majority of the electoral college.
Have a nice day.

In the margin on the next page , analyze what hall means by "the natural right of all men" (line 30)
lesya [120]

Answer:

He incorporated natural rights theory into documents like the Declaration of Independence that not only justified the Revolution but served as “an expression of the American mind.” Natural rights, such as the right to be free and pursue one’s own “happiness,” are rights all human beings possess that are not granted by government and cannot be revoked or repealed.  

Explanation:

African Americans, both slave and free, immediately jumped into the fray when white colonists began to protest British colonial rule for the first time in 1765 in response to the Stamp Act, which imposed a tax on newspapers, pamphlets, and legal documents.

African Americans, and some whites opposed to slavery, also recognized the curious irony of statements made by some white colonists that characterized British policies as a conspiracy that threatened to turn free white people into “slaves,” that is, people lacking the same rights and liberties as British citizens overseas.

While a small number of slaves petitioned courts for their freedom, the number of petitions rose during the American Revolution. In the petition it was argued that slavery left black people in bondage for life without the hope of acquiring property and freedom for themselves or their progeny. Since the law deprived slaves of property and instead made them into property, their condition resembled that of an animal and not a human being

Black Americans continued to petition for their freedom during the Revolutionary War, which broke out in 1777 in Massachusetts, former slave Hall, declared that the ideals Americans fought for “in the course of their unhappy difficulties with Great Britain pleads stronger than a thousand arguments…that black people may be restored to the enjoyments of that which is the natural right of all men.”

Two years earlier, Hall founded the first African American branch of Freemasonry and started the first black Masonic Lodge in Boston.
