Question

What were some reasons that the US did not depend on foreign imports? (Market Revolution)

Answer 1

Answer:

The Market Revolution

The Market Revolution of the nineteenth century radically shifted commerce as well as the way of life for most Americans.

Explanation:

The Market Revolution (1793–1909) in the United States was a drastic change in the manual-labor system originating in the South (and soon moving to the North) and later spreading to the entire world. Traditional commerce was made obsolete by improvements in transportation, communication, and industry. With the growth of large-scale domestic manufacturing, trade within the United States increased, and dependence on foreign imports declined. The dramatic changes in labor and production at this time included a great increase in wage labor. The agricultural explosion in the South and West and the textile boom in the North strengthened the economy in complementary ways.
