•. As immigration increased in the East, slavery grew in the South.
As the demand for cotton increased in the North, slavery increased in the South.
• As settlements grew in the West, slavery increased in the South.
• As farm production decreased in the North, slavery increased in the South.

Answer 1

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

• As immigration increased in the East, slavery grew in the South.

This reflects the economic conditions of the time, where the Southern economy became increasingly dependent on slave labor, especially in the cotton industry, as demand for cotton surged. The other statements have inaccuracies related to the historical context of slavery and economic development during that period.
