Answer:

Hi!

The answer would be <u>B</u> or the second option. <u>The South became more dependent on slavery, deepening the differences between the South and the North.</u>

Explanation:

So the "gin" (short for engine), was a small machine invented in the 19th century to help workers separate the seeds from the fibers in short-staple cotton. Although cotton still needed to be picked by hand, the cotton gin improved the efficiency in which cotton was produced and the demand for cotton roughly doubled each decade after.

So cotton became a very profitable business that  demanded a growing slave-labor force to harvest it.

What were the obsticals of the berlin airlift?
jolli1 [7]
Winter and rationing--Berlin was located in Soviet territory and the USSR wanted the Western powers out which led to a blockade and the airlift. 

During winter, it became harder for the west to get supplies to West Berlin. The USSR began rationing electricity which also made life in West Berlin more difficult. Though West Berlin struggled through the conditions, they would have rather this situation instead of being under Soviet control. The airlift lasted over a year and ended with the USSR lifting the blockades to West Berlin.
