Answer with Explanation:
The "Rhode Island System" was started by Samuel Slater, a British immigrant, in 1790. The system worked in relation to his invention, the water-powered cotton mill. The system he employed was different from those in the ordinary "mill town." The mill was more mechanized, but it was run by families including their children. Although they were paid low wages and they have to work long hours, the system worked very well. This was even considered a forward step for the American industries. Because of this, Slater was dubbed "The Father of American Manufacturers."
