1. In the late 18th century, cotton fashion became more widespread and accessible to lower classes in Britain due to the growing cotton industry. Cheap cotton goods allowed servants and poorer people to imitate upper-class fashion. 2. The cotton industry was powered first by water mills and then steam engines, driving technological innovations and factory growth. Major figures like Arkwright established the first cotton mills. 3. By the mid-19th century, Britain dominated the global cotton industry and was importing cotton from the American South, becoming dependent on the crop. This dependence influenced British policy during the American Civil War.
