I had this question on my test but I don’t remember lol but use Socratic
Reaper and steel plow were the machines invented by Cyrus McCormick and John Deere that made large-scale agriculture possible, especially on Midwestern prairies.
B) Reaper and steel plow
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the 1800's people used to do all the chores with their hands hence, it made farming a tough job and a lot of time consuming activity. During the industrial revolution, Cyrus McCormick invented a mechanical reaper, which would help reap big farms in very less time.
The steel plow played a very important role in the industrial revolution as the wooden plow used to be weak but John Deere's invented steel plow was strong and broke soil easily.
Well one reason could be that nobody is at a higher status than another so there's little chance of a dictatorship or anything. A different reason is a balance of power leaves no desire to gain more from unfairness.
A characteristic is freedom. =)
