Cotton

Explanation:

During the mid - nineteenth century, cotton accounted for over 50 percent of the entire exports made by the United States of America. Cotton businesses were easily executed and U. S exported them in higher amounts, which in turn supported the economy and also granted the government the ability to borrow money from other countries. The west and the east had good domestic business activities using agricultural products from the west for the goods manufactured by the east.
