Explanation:

1. For the first question: Cash-crop farming (like tobacco) was key to NC agriculture, so ending it didn't help industry. Tenant farming kept farmers in debt, not moving to factories. Tobacco bans didn't happen. New tech freed labor for factories, directly aiding industrial growth.
2. For the second question: NC had existing tobacco farming (a local resource) and a large rural workforce that could shift to textile mills. These industries needed some investment and basic skilled labor, weren't supported by Northern unions, and didn't replace agriculture entirely.
3. For the third question: Women did not have full political rights in NC then. The suffrage movement didn't oppose industrial growth, and suffrage wasn't banned by the U.S. Constitution (the 19th Amendment later granted it). Resistance stemmed from fears that women voting would upset traditional social and political power structures.

Answer:

1. New farming technology that reduced the need for labor and pushed workers toward factories
2. They relied on resources and labor already available in the state
3. Many feared suffrage would disrupt traditional social/political power
