Accepted Answer

∻Answer∻ ⚹ The correct answer is (C) The North and the South further separated because of rapid industrialization in the North and heavy dependence on agriculture in the South. ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹ The economic and social differences between the North and the South in the late 18th and early 19th centuries were exacerbated by the North's rapid industrialization and the South's reliance on agriculture, particularly cotton production. (KC-4.2.II) ⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹ The invention of the cotton gin significantly increased cotton production in the South, which led to a greater reliance on slave labor and an agricultural economy. Meanwhile, the North experienced rapid industrialization, particularly in the textile industry, which created economic and social differences between the two regions. These differences contributed to increasing sectionalism and eventually the Civil War. ⚹◊What impact did the cotton gin have on the economic development of the North and the South in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries in the United States⍭ Generate me a similar question◊⚶[{"title": "The Cotton Gin and Slavery [Invention that changed America] | Daily Bellringer", "video_link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTFpV7wDkNM"}, {"title": "The Rise of Cotton: Crash Course Black American History #13", "video_link": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83eJfEFFZ74"}]⚶
