Question

Why were the people in this photograph important to New England during the early 1800s?

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer will be c

Answer 2

The answer is C

This is because those shown in the photo would have been working at a textile mill back in the 1800's.
This can be proven:
D) because newcomers would take any jobs they could get for pay, they might also work cheaper and harder causing others to lose their jobs.
B) Maybe I am wrong but it looks as if some of those women may have been slaves. This photo is in the 1800's but slavery wasn't officially ended until Dec. 6, 1865.
A) It is most likely not A because this is a large group of african american women (So I think from the photo) and since both groups are minorities, they had few rights back them. Therefore not allowing them to hold primary jobs like those of inventors but instead do labor.

Hope this Helps!
Good Luck
