Question

question 5 of 10 the building of cotton mills in the south meant decreased: a. demand for cotton goods. b. dependence of the south on the north. c. demand for factory labor. d. political power of the south over the north.

Explanation:

Before the building of cotton mills in the South, the South often sent raw - cotton to the North for manufacturing into finished goods. With the establishment of local cotton mills, the South could process its own cotton, reducing its need to rely on the North for manufacturing. This led to a decrease in the South's dependence on the North.

Answer:

B. dependence of the South on the North.
