Question

WRITE AN ARTICLE ON THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR

Answer 1

American Civil War

Another factor for collapse of industries was the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. This led to the disruption of a continuous supply of raw cotton from America. So Britain had to look towards India for the supply of raw cotton. This led to a sharp rise in the prices of cotton which made it extremely difficult for the Indian weavers to buy it.
