Why did the factories in the north demand raw cotton for their machines?

Factories in the North demanded raw cotton primarily because it was essential for the textile industry, which relied heavily on cotton to produce fabric and clothing. The mechanization of textile production during the Industrial Revolution increased the need for large quantities of cotton to feed the machines efficiently. Access to raw cotton allowed Northern factories to maximize production and meet the growing consumer demand for cotton goods, driving economic growth in the region. Additionally, the profitability of cotton made it a key commodity in trade and manufacturing.

What is the difference between forward linkages and backward linkages?

Backward linkages can be defined as "the growth of an industry leads to the growth of the industries that supply inputs to it". As in the case of cotton industry, growth of the textile industry may support the growth of the cotton industry, which will lead to higher incomes for cotton farmers and will create a greater demand for goods and services in the countryside Forward linkages exist when the growth of an industry leads to the growth of other industries that uses its output as input. The final product of cotton goes to consumers either through retailers or through manufacturers who open up their own shops to directly sell to consumer, thereby minimising the role of retailers in the channel process. A company can minimize cost of production and can maximize revenue when both backward and forward linkages work together in effective way.
