Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Samuel Slater was an early English-American industrialist known as the "Father of the American Industrial Revolution" (a phrase coined by Andrew Jackson) and the "Father of the American Factory System". In the UK, he was called "Slater the Traitor" and "Sam the Slate" because he brought British textiletechnology to the United States, modifying it for American use.
