What were the two main reasons that Watt and Bolton replaced water with steam as a main source of energy after the drought in 1776

Please see below for answer

Explanation: The two main reasons water was replaced with steam by watt and Bolton was

1) To allow factories to move away from water body

2) to have more factories thereby creating employment.

James Watt's modification of the Newcomen steam engine combined with contributions from Matthew Boulton produced an engine powered by steam which helped in the industrial revolution for powering mills, factories, breweries Thier invention propelled the manufacturing of trains, boats and railways used in this present day.

one of the main reasons was definitely slavery. back in 1861, republican abraham lincoln was elected and ended up being a major influence in the slavery business. slavery greatly affected the texas economy because back in 1845 during the annexation of texas, slaves became a big part of the texas population. many texans that were in favor of the secession influenced groups through party ties.

after the civil war, and with the termination of slavery, the south was faced with a big problem; what was supposed to happen and how they were supposed to deal with the freedom and the rights that black people and freed slaves had gained as a result of the north defeating the south and forcing the end of slavery. first, most, if not all, of the workforce of the south came from slaves and they did not have an option to replace the loss of said workforce. second, particularly in the south, people were convinced that black people were lesser, less intelligent, less capable and less smart than whites. this posed a huge problem for them. also, southerners were faced with another issue; freed slaves now had a say in how their lives would be lived and the right to politically choose the way they would be governed. people in the south did not want to accept this, none of this and this opposition and the conflicts that arose from it, not to mention the afereffects of the war, forced the congress of the time to enact and enforce the reconstruction plans that had been proposed by president andrew johnson.
