Question

What were the primary industries that dominated the western part of the United States before mass industrialization of the region?

Answer 1

Answer:

The U.S. industrial revolution primarily began through textile mills in New England. The three early mills were the Beverly Cotton Manufactory (1787), the Slater Mill (1790), and the Waltham Mill (1813). Corporations became the dominant manufacturing business model by the mid-1840s.
