According to the text, why did tobacco bag stringing become a common practice? Check all that apply.
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
families throughout the tobacco-growing regions of
North Carolina and Virginia earned much-needed income
by sewing drawstrings into cotton tobacco bags. Long
forgotten today, tobacco bag stringing was a common
activity in many communities. Because the labor was not
physically demanding and could be done at home, the
work attracted many women, children, and others who
needed money to supplement their farm incomes, or who
could not find work in nearby factories and mills
Many of the bag stringers received work through a "bag
agent," who was employed directly by the manufacturer.
The agent was often a local businessman or county
government official who was well known throughout the
community. Distributing tobacco bags became an
important responsibility when demand for work
outpaced the number of bags available.
It helped provide additional income.
It could be done in a worker's home.
It did not require heavy manual labor.
It could be done by anyone, even children
It offered direct contact between workers and
manufacturers
