a. raw cotton
b. water wheels
c. coal
d. shoes

Answer 1

Option: D. Shoes

Step-by-step explanation:

Factories in New England in the 1800s produced shoes. People in New England were high skilled artisans who knew their crafts and practiced at home with their own hands on a small scale. All changed when John Adam Dagyr first opened a shoe shop like a factory in 1750, with several workers specializing in making shoes in different sizes. All this led to the rise of shoe production in Massachusetts.

Answer 2

Generally speaking, factories in New England in the 1800s produced "d. shoes," although of course they produced many other things, since this was during the Industrial Revolution.
