Answer: B. Production of cotton

Explanation: The invention of the cotton gin in this 1793 tied the economy of the Southern states to cotton production. By the 1860, production of cotton by the South represented more than half of all American exports. This led to the rapid expansion southwest as Southerners needed more land to cultivate cotton, as it had proved to be the crop of choice.

This allowed the American South to expand its wealth and population and became an integral part of an increasingly global economy. Also, because of its trading and export potentials, merchants from the Northeast, Europe, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean flocked to Southern cities, setting up trading firms, warehouses, ports, and markets.

Answer:

Smith favored buying farm surpluses, while Hoover believed in funding organizations that would help farmers with the surpluses

Explanation:

A major difference in the political platforms of Herbert Hoover and Alfred Smith is that Smith favored buying farm surpluses, while Hoover believed in funding organizations that would assist farmers with the surpluses.

Herbert Clark Hoover who was born on August 10, 1874 and died on October 20, 1964 was an American engineer, businessman, and politician who was elected as the 31st president of the United States in 1929 to 1933. Hoover was a member of the Republican Party, and he held office during the beginning of the Great Depression. Prior to serving as president, Hoover led the Commission for Relief in Belgium and was the director of the United States Food Administration, and served as the 3rd U.S. Secretary of Commerce.

When the United States entered the war, President Woodrow Wilson appointed Hoover to lead the Food Administration, and Hoover was widely known as the country's "food czar". After the war, Hoover led the American Relief Administration, which made available food to the inhabitants of Central Europe and Eastern Europe.

Alfred Emanuel Smith who was born in December 30, 1873 and died on October 4, 1944 was an American politician and the Governor of New York who served four terms during his time and was also the Democratic Party's candidate for president in 1928, and also favored buying farm surpluses during his time.
