River Cotton
One reason factories appeared first in New England was that?
A. New England had ample rivers near the coast, where water transportation was readily available.
B. the states supported early manufacturing with subsidies.
C. its slaves had little cotton to pick and could work in factories.
D. the region had failed to succeed in other commercial activities.
All the above had a marked effect upon early manufacturing in New England. Another very important factor was that the financiers of those enterprises were physically located in the region, whether institutional investors such as banks or individuals like Andrew Carnegie.
