Answer:
To increase the production of cotton farming.
Explanation:
It was used to pick seeds out of cotton at a higher rate than by hand. This helped increase the amount of cotton slaves were able to treat and bag to be sold. It helped cotton become the leading export by the 19th century.
Depending on what you have been learning most recently, it could be any of the following
· The Treaty of Paris was signed (brought an end to the French and Indian War, giving Britain claim over all of the east of the Mississippi River)
· The Stamp Act was passed ( it required that all colonists purchase marked, taxed paper for use in newspapers and legal documents. This was done in order to stop the rebels from printing newspapers that encouraged rebellion)
· The Boston Massacre (In which Redcoat troops fired into a crowd of sailors, when one redcoat soldier was knocked over.... (some believe it was an accident others think it was on purpose; its debatable)
Hope its one of these!
Clearly the establishment of the colonies comes first then next would be the Writs of Assistance, next the Intolerable Acts, Then finally the stamp act
