Question

how did the first industrial revolution change labor in america?
o a. it caused the need for more raw materials and slave labor.
o b. it enabled labor to go from hands - on to machine - powered.
o c. it caused laborers to form unions.

Explanation:

The First Industrial Revolution was marked by the transition from hand - made production (hands - on labor) to machine - powered manufacturing. Option a is more related to the economic aspects of raw materials and slavery which was more prominent in some pre - industrial and early industrial economic setups but not the core labor change. Option c, labor unions, became more significant in the later stages of industrialization as a response to poor working conditions, not as the immediate labor change caused by the First Industrial Revolution.

Answer:

B. It enabled labor to go from hands - on to machine - powered.
