I think its D. My mom says its A. My high school sister says its B. Who is correct?
I thought it was A
Yay for Mom! She's right again! :-)
Aren't mothers always right?
Moms are sometimes best.

To determine the correct answer, let's analyze each option and see which one aligns with the shared characteristics of New England's textile industry and cotton farming in the South during the early 1800s.
A.) Changes in technology led to increased production in both regions.
This statement is generally correct. Both the textile industry in New England and cotton farming in the South experienced significant technological advancements during the early 1800s, which resulted in increased production. However, this alone does not consider the specific factors that both industries shared.
B.) Children worked in the textile industry; slaves of all ages worked in the South.
This statement is partially correct. While it is true that children often worked in the textile industry in New England, slave labor was predominantly used in cotton farming in the South. While both involved labor issues, it does not capture the shared characteristic of both regions.
C.) New inventions increased the quality of life for textile workers and cotton farmers.
This statement is not entirely accurate. While technological advancements did contribute to increased production, they did not necessarily enhance the quality of life for workers in either industry. Therefore, this option does not cover the shared characteristic of both regions.
D.) Unskilled labor was cheaper in the North than in the South.
This statement is the most accurate among the given options. Both New England's textile industry and cotton farming in the South depended on labor. During this period, unskilled labor was indeed cheaper in the North compared to the South. This shared characteristic affected both industries and contributed to their growth.
Based on the analysis above, the correct answer is likely D.
