Answer: Company guards and agents spied on and reported workers.

Explanation:

Living in company towns meant that the company had guards on the streets and agents who lived amongst workers like they were one of them. Both these guards and agents were told to keep their ears open for signs of union activity.

If a person was found to be engaging or advocating for union activity, they could lose their jobs and as people did not want to lose their job security, they generally avoided the topic which meant that the unions could not take hold in such environments.

Answer:

C. Britain stopped exporting goods to the Americas.

Explanation:

There was a great development of an autonomous economy of the colonies, mercantile and manufacturing.

A region formed by the colonies of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina, and Georgia, the Southern Thirteen Colonies was marked by agricultural production in a plantation system: monoculture worked by slave labor on large estates and intended for sale on the European market. There was a distinct settlement logic in this region, in the face of slave labor and agricultural production of tobacco, cotton, rice and indigo (indigo) for Europe.

Thus, the colonies began to have economic autonomy of production of goods, no longer needing to import consumer goods.
