Question

when the 1800s began, the united states was a young, growing nation. most americans lived in states along the atlantic coast. most people lived and worked on farms, and most of their tools and other products were made by hand, often at home or by local craftspeople.but in both europe and the united states, changes had begun that would transform peoples lives. look at the timeline to learn about some of these changes. then follow the instructions below.based on the timeline, decide whether each statement is true or false.true falsenew inventions changed how fabric was produced in the late 1700s and early 1800s.the united states government worked to improve transportation in the early 1800s.in 1780, most american yarn to make cloth was produced in mills.steam-powered boats were built in europe before the united states.

Explanation:

1. The timeline shows 1771 (England water-powered spinning mill), 1793 (US spinning mill), and 1821 (US mills weaving fabric), all changing fabric production methods in the late 1700s/early 1800s.
2. The timeline notes 1811 as the year the U.S. government began building its first national highway, a transportation improvement.
3. The first U.S. spinning mill was built in 1793, so in 1780, most American yarn was still made by hand, not in mills.
4. The timeline shows a 1783 steam-powered ship built in France (Europe), while the first successful American steamboat was built in 1807, which is later.
