Most of the south’s postwar industrial growth came from a. cotton mills. b. the manufacture of finished products. c. canal building. d. shipbuilding.

The correct answer is:

a. Cotton Mills

During the Reconstruction Era, Cotton became a protagonist in the industrial growth of the Southern States. Southern capitalists sank Money into cotton rather than factories or land. More precisely, they invested in slaves; the average slave owner held almost two-thirds of his wealth in slaves in 1860, much less than he held in land.

the process is called revolution because it was a process of great economic-social transformations that began in england in the xviii century.

the industrial mode of production spread throughout much of the northern hemisphere throughout the xix and early xx centuries.

the effect of this revolution was the distance between the countries, with respect to economic and political power.   after all, not all industrialized at the same time, remaining in the condition of suppliers of raw materials and agricultural products to the industrialized countries.

these differences mark to this day the nations of the world that are divided between developed and developing countries. one way to measure whether a country is advanced is to assess how industrialized it is.
