multiple-choice question
america used to rely on trade with great britain for its manufactured goods. the industrial revolution in america was kick - started by what two events?
jeffersons embargo act and the war of 1812
the war of 1812 and the invention of the cotton gin
the revolutionary war and the war of 1812
the embargo act and the louisiana purchase

Explanation:

The Embargo Act of 1807 restricted American trade with foreign nations. This forced the U.S. to start producing its own goods. The War of 1812 (1812 - 1815) further disrupted trade with Britain. These two events led America to focus on domestic manufacturing, kick - starting its Industrial Revolution. The invention of the Cotton Gin (1793) was more related to agricultural efficiency (especially cotton processing) rather than directly kick - starting the Industrial Revolution in the context of trade disruption. The Revolutionary War (1775 - 1783) was about independence, not directly about manufacturing kick - start. The Louisiana Purchase (1803) was about territorial expansion, not manufacturing.

Answer:

Jefferson's Embargo Act and the War of 1812
