Answer 2

The economy of Georgia was based on the success of cotton plantations.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the 1790s, cotton cultivation became the main source of income for Georgia, thanks to the invention of equipment that easily separated the cotton strand from the seed. The new industry, however, did not significantly increase the demand for land in most of Georgia, relatively isolated from the rest of the country because of the mountains, forests and swamps of the north of the state.

The economy of Georgia, throughout the first half of the nineteenth century, depended heavily on the cultivation, processing and export of cotton to European countries. However, for the sale of cotton at low and competitive prices in the European market, the use of slave labor was necessary.
