Answer:

Cotton was important to the South because cotton production was integral not only to the Southern economy, but also to overall U.S. economic prosperity in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The cotton economy of the South prolonged slavery as an institution and as a result helped give rise to the American Civil War.

Even after the abolition of slavery, the high labor demands of cotton as a crop gave rise to sharecropping, which made virtual slaves of poor southerners of all races. Indeed, for some the poverty seemed more ruinous than out-and-out slavery had been, indeed some have not escaped to this day.

Which factor most promoted the spread of ideas and products from the ancient river valley civilization of Egypt and Mesopotamia

Alinara [238K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

The factor that most promoted the spread of ideas and products from the ancient river valley civilization of Egypt and Mesopotamia to the Greek and Roman, was trade relationships.

Trade was of the utmost importance for these civilizations because it gave them the resources to live and prosper (years later, the money or currency). Through trade, not only goods were exchanged but ideas, traditions, culture, belief systems, stories, and language. One of the best examples of this is the Pantheon of gods that started with the Sumerians in Mesopotamia, which is very alike to the Pantheon of gods of Ancient Egypt, the Indus Valley Civilization, the Greek Pantheon, and the Roman Pantheon. All of them, very similar.
