The American Independence was achieved in 1776, after this moment the Southern States primary economic activity was cotton farming (option C) and the land owners used slaves as the main labor force for this activity. At this time slavery was permitted in the country and that is how many people gathered wealthy fortunes in the South. Once the Civil War took place in history, and the Southern States, also known as Confederate, lost against the Union States, slavery was no longer permitted and cotton farming stopped being as productive as before.

Nataly [62]

One way to fuel your economy is to have people buy domestic products. After the Great Depression the US economy was in shambles and in order to revitalize it even just a little, the government used protective tariffs. When you impose taxes, that is tariffs the price of the goods they are placed on will increase.

A cartel is a group of firms, producers or individuals that, while on the surface independent, work together in order to increase their profits by manipulating the market by some restrictive practices like price fixing.

7. The correct answer here is the third option.

10.The correct answer here is the last option.
