The growth of textile mills throughout New England in the early 1800s was made possible mostly because of the introduction of slave labor. government sponsored industrialization. the availability of water power. increased trade with the South.

Answers

Answer: the availability of water power.

During the Industrial Revolution, the textile industry was mechanized and increasingly done in an industrial scale. One of the most important additions was the fully mechanized water-power system that Samuel Slater brought from England. He smuggled (as it was against the law) his knowledge of textile machinery to the United States, and in 1793, established a cotton-spinning mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. The availability of water power made this a perfect location. He went on to build several more cotton and wool mills throughout New England.
