Answer 1

You have many reasons it was bad, but none that were good?

Jeez....Look around your house. It's full of examples...All of the labor-saving appliances that were created...can opener, stove, washing machine/dryer, vacuum cleaner, automobile, etc.

Cheaper transportation costs by the development of fast ships, airplanes, railways, and interstate highways.

Answer 2

The industrial revolution made an end to slavery economical.

With the pactice's flimsy economical argument made moot, the moral outrage over its practice could spread. With the spread of moral outrage came the acknowledgement of the worth of a single individual.

The civil rights movement was, essentially, an effort by the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of slaves to claim that acknowledgement and demand it for themselves.

But if you are really smart you will not dothat. you will not chance it. got for the a plus by sounding normal. you cannot read the mind of your teacher so play it cool.
