The American Independence was achieved in 1776, after this moment the Southern States primary economic activity was cotton farming (option C) and the land owners used slaves as the main labor force for this activity.

Once the Civil War took place in history, and the Southern States, also known as Confederate, lost against the Union States, slavery was no longer permitted and cotton farming stopped being as productive as before.
