    US History Help me Please.
    Which was not a reason that New England became the center of the American Industrial Revolution?

    Large numbers of swift-flowing rivers that could produce power

    Coastal trading ports on or near the Atlantic Ocean

    Access to Pennsylvania's abundant supply of coal

    Climate that supported a large agricultural base

    You're really having trouble coming up with an answer? In which part of the U.S. do you live, by the way? (Knowing that will help me help you.)

    New England was known for all its mills that manufactured products such as textiles (cloth to make clothing). These mills always had huge wooden paddle wheels standing over rivers and streams.

    What was the purpose of these wooden wheels?
