Question

which was not a reason that new england became the center of the american industrial revolution?
o large numbers of swift - flowing rivers that could produce power
o climate that supported a large agricultural base
o access to pennsylvanias abundant supply of coal
o coastal trading ports on or near the atlantic ocean

Explanation:

New England's climate was not conducive to a large - scale agricultural base. Its rocky soil and short growing season limited agriculture. Swift - flowing rivers provided water power, access to Pennsylvania's coal was an energy advantage, and coastal ports facilitated trade, all of which contributed to its industrial development.

Answer:

climate that supported a large agricultural base
