Explanation:

How did technological innovations in textile mills affect the practice of slavery?

Faster and cheaper production of cloth raised the demand for cotton plants, which increased the need for enslaved workers on Southern plantations.      

The increase of machinery in textile mills meant that large numbers of enslaved workers were needed to run the machines.

As the number of machines in textile mills increased, fewer laborers were needed and the number of enslaved workers declined.

New technologies in textile mills enabled more cloth to be made from less cotton, and the number of enslaved workers on cotton plantations decreased.

Answer 2

The correct answer is that faster and cheaper production of cloth raised the demand for cotton plants, which increased the need for enslaved workers on Southern plantations. Since you could manufacture more that meant that you also needed more resources and more workers. This led to more and more slaves being bought and the cotton plant owners earning huge sums of money.
