In the 1830s, where was the cotton manufacturing center of the world?

Manchester

Explanation:

Manchester was nicknamed "Cottonpolis" due to the importance of the textile industry. Cotton was imported from the the Southern states of the USA. New Orleans was the main agricultural port in the USA and cotton went from this city to Liverpool.

From Liverpool it went to manufactures mostly in Northern England, the most industrialized region of the UK. Great Britain was nicknamed the "workshop of the world" just like China today and was the biggest industrial power in the 1830s.

in his book, the riddle of the rosetta stone, james giblin talks about how there was a young british polymath and physician named thomas young who made a lot of advances on the deciphering of the rosetta stone. he says that even though young made a lot of mistakes because he was working under false assumptions, he also made huge contributions like deciphering three out of the seven symbols (more than anyone else before him). young published his findings and continued his good work but he wasn't able to progress much further due to some unfavorable situations, he still laid the basis for many other scholars and of course for the man who has been generally known to have deciphered it, jean-françois champollion

a drastic rise in oil prices ended decades of postwar.
