Hello there! The cotton gin would be your answer :)

During the pre-civil war era, cotton was extremely hard for slaves to do by hand, and slowed down production of cotton. This machine, created by Eli Whitney and helped speed the process of collecting cotton which dramatically increased the profit of Southern plantations.

I hope this helped! If you have any more questions just comment or message me :) I can give a more in-depth lesson about the effects of the cotton gin if you'd wish. Good luck with school!

Here's a picture showing how the cotton gin works (found on slideshare.net)

schepotkina [342]
We first domesticated farm animals, sheep and goats were among the first domesticated roughly 11,000 years ago.

Cats became pets around 7000 B.C. with the advent of agriculture.

No one can pinpoint exactly when humans first started keeping dogs as pets, but estimates range from roughly 13,000 to 30,000 years ago.

A team of archaeologists recently presented new evidence that horses were domesticated in 3500 B.C.—about a thousand years earlier than previous estimates

Which statement best completes the diagram?

Answer:

Enlightenment ideas are introduced in Europe --- Common Sense connects Enlightenment ideas to the American movement for independence --- The Second Continental Congress ratifies the Declaration of Independence.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a cultural and intellectual movement, primarily European, that was born in the mid-eighteenth century and lasted until the early years of the nineteenth century. It was especially active in France, England and Germany, inspiring profound cultural and social changes, and one of the most dramatic was the French Revolution. It was named in this way for its declared purpose of dispelling the darkness of the ignorance of humanity through the lights of knowledge and reason. The eighteenth century is known, for this reason, as the Age of Enlightenment and the settlement of faith in progress.

The thinkers of the Enlightenment argued that human knowledge could combat ignorance, superstition and tyranny to build a better world. The Enlightenment had a great influence on scientific, economic, political and social aspects of the time.

The cultural movement of Enlightenment spread rapidly from Europe to the Thirteen Colonies, where it found sufficiently trained elites, a particularly favorable public opinion and a free and dynamic press. The intellectual debates had a clear influence on the political and social movement of the American Revolution, which led to the formation of the independent United States of America in 1776.
