I believe the answer is B
Answer:
Railroads helped move Georgia cotton to seaports and markets in Europe and the North, helping Georgia grow.
Explanation:
In the XIX century, Georgia was considered the cotton capital of the United States. This is due to two key technologies: the cotton gin and the railroad. The invention of the cotton gin in 1793, a machine that helps separate cotton fibers from its seeds, made cotton production a lot easier. Railroads were a much faster and efficient means of transport than horses. <u>Cotton produced in Georgia could be moved to seaports and markets in Europe and the North along the newly built railroads</u>. Because of these two technologies, cotton production was much more efficient and profitable. Land owners acquired more land, brought more slaves, and cotton plantations in Georgia boomed.
