What was the main purpose of the International Cotton Expositions held in Atlanta during the New South Era?

History

Answer:

The most ambitious of the city's cotton expositions was staged in 1895. The Cotton States and International Exposition's goals were to foster trade between southern states and South American nations as well as to show the products and facilities of the region to the rest of the nation and to Europe.

Explanation:

Atlanta held its first exposition, named the International Cotton Exposition, in Oglethorpe Park in 1881. The city then had fewer than 40,000 residents, and the primary sense in which the first exposition was "international" was the display of cotton plants from around the world. Nevertheless, Georgians were eager to host the 1881 exposition to promote investment and to help the city toward its goal of becoming an industrial center, which was a primary component of Grady's "New South" concept.

Although attendance was lower than expected (fewer than 200,000 in paid attendance during its two-and-a-half-month run), city leaders demonstrated that they could work together to host a major event and that Atlanta was serious about its role in textile production at a time when the North was beginning to grow dissatisfied with the efficiency of southern cotton processing. The exposition displayed new crop planters and cotton seed cleaners, along with a model of Eli Whitney's original cotton gin, and speakers addressed the crowds about agricultural technology and political reforms.

jeka57 [31]
The answer is C. Galileo made important improvements to both instruments.

Some people believe that Galileo was the first person to build a telescope.

This is not true, but he was the first person to publish his observations of astronomical objects through a telescope. He discovered that the Milky Way is made of many stars. He discovered that the Moon has hills.

He found four moons around Jupiter.

Those moons are now called the Galilean moons. He discovered sunspots, which are dark areas of the Sun. He saw that the planet Venus has light and dark phases just like the Moon. This helped people to know that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System, as Nicholas Copernicus had said.

Hoped I helped! If I'm incorrect, please correct me.
