The correct answer is A. The invention of the cotton gin.

Explanation

A cotton gin is a machine created during the late 18th century that has the utility of separating cotton fibers from their seeds and other objects attached to it quickly and easily. The invention of this machine contributed to the strengthening of slavery because it allowed the landowners of the south to start the domestic production of cotton cheaply and easily. However, once the export demand for cotton grew in the north and other countries, the landowners of the south acquired more slaves to supply that demand for cotton. This deepened slavery because none of the southern landowners wanted to set free the African-Americans who were bringing them huge profits from their work. So the correct answer is A.

Did the Spanish Help or Hurt?

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

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

Did the Spanish Help or Hurt?

Well, it all depends on the perspective.

From the European perspective, the Spanish helped by evangelizing the Native Indians into the Catholic church principles and in offering education because the Spaniards considered the Indians as ignorant, primitive people.

On the other hand, in the Mexican and Latin American perspectives, the Spanish hurt so much.

The Spaniards were fortunate in the act that the Aztecas believed they were their gods coming back to fulfill the prophecies, and because of that the Aztecs welcomed them with an open hand and open doors.

The Spaniards were greedy people that only ambitioned richness for them and the Spanish crown, and they did what they knew best, kill and conquer.

The Spanish conquered Mesoamerica and instilled New Spain More than helping the Indians what the Spanish really wanted was to exploit the many raw materials and natural resources of the Americas. And exploit they did. They also tried to disappear the culture, traditions, beliefs, and religion of the Indians. Furthermore, they brought European diseases that almost wipe out 80n% of the Indian population. Diseases such as chickenpox, smallpox, malaria, influenza, and cholera.

So we could say they hurt more than what they helped.
