Answer 2

Manufacturing

Step-by-step explanation:

Manufacturing was the beginning of a new era, the era of machines and factories. The purpose was to produce and sell all kind of stuff. For instance in 1790 Samuel Slater was the very fist American in building a factory in the US and he built a water-powered mill. It was the starting point so in 1804 Mr.Oliver Evans created and constructed a high-pressure steam engine which was used in different new born industries such as textile factories.
