Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Francis Cabot Lowell did not invent the cotton spindle or improve the cotton gin, but he did improve the power loom. However, his most significant contribution was the establishment of a textile mill that vertically integrated all stages of cloth production, from spinning to weaving to finishing, and he organized his workers by task into a primitive assembly line. This dramatically expanded the textile industry in the North in the early 19th century.
