How did the steam engine influence the growth of the industrial economy in the North?

It produced cotton faster, allowing more of it to be sent to the North.

It was a machine that could turn cotton into yarn, so it increased the need for factories.

It powered the factories, leading to large industrial centers and population growth.

It allowed for the building of taller structures, increasing the number of people that could live and work in cities.
