The best answer for this question would be:
a.
A consistent influx of immigrants willing to
work for low wages
The immigrants at the time were desperate to find jobs, in
order to feed their families. This caused the workforce in the Lowell Mill to
increase.
Political corruption
Government jobs were being given out based on favors and deals for votes. Unqualified people were working in government jobs and often the corrupt deals led to more corruption.
The bosses and the system created by the bosses were the source of much of the corruption. City bosses gained votes for a political party in return for government jobs under the party's administration. Government jobs were good paying and were circling in the same groups of people.
Back then, they didn't want to lose the slaves because they were the way of getting money sorry if its wrong the question wasnt detailed enough
