Answer 1

The true statement about the growth of slavery during the early to mid-1800s is:

As the demand for cotton increased in the North, slavery increased in the South.

During this period, the invention of the cotton gin and the rising demand for cotton, particularly in Northern textile mills and in England, led to an expansion of cotton cultivation in the South, which in turn resulted in an increase in the demand for slave labor to support that production.
