Question

Question 3Answer

a.
The need for slave labor grew.

b.
Northern manufacturing expanded.

c.
Port cities like New Orleans expanded.

d.
U.S. trade increased with France and Spain.

Answer 1

The correct answer is d. U.S. trade increased with France and Spain.

While the cotton boom did lead to significant trade developments, it primarily focused on domestic ramifications and relations with Britain, as the demand for cotton in the British textile industry was a major factor in the expansion. Trade with France and Spain was not a direct or primary effect of the cotton boom compared to the other options listed.
