Question
Answer the following question briefly:
One of the great changes that took place in the United States of America in the first half of the 19th century was industrial growth and development. In this context, discuss:
The serious problems arising from the cotton-growing industry in the southern states
Solution
The cotton-growing industry gave rise to serious problems in the United States. As the plantations increased, so did the demand for labour. The only available source of labour in those days was the slaves brought in from Africa and living in America. The issue of slavery would eventually turn into an explosive problem that would threaten the very existence of the American Union.
