Answer:

There are many ways in which the textile factories and agriculture impacted the economic development of Carolina;

The industries came before the start of the civil war, and this was important for the South Carolina history. Materials were already ready, and the change of attitude for development promoted the growth of the industries.

The growth of the textile and agricultural sector promoted urban development and increased population through immigration. In addition, increased food processing grew due to agriculture.

After the war, South Carolina began to industrialize rapidly. Several wealthy landowners built some textile factories with the income of the cotton they produced on their haciendas. The textile industry grew and expanded until 1920. Then several pests destroyed many cotton plantations. Some of the landowners were forced to grow other products such as wheat and tobacco. The economy recovered largely around the year 1940, until that time agriculture was its main source of income but happened to have the industry as the axis of its economy.
