In this article we intended to study what a histrical meaning had the industrialization in 19c. U.S. Two devices were used to effectually achieve this end. The one was that we studied the economic structure of U.S. in the first half of 19c., and what position held the cotton industry in it. To this end we analized "McLane Report". The other was histrical study of the American cotton industry in that period. The one is what is called a static analisis and the other is so called dynamic one of the cotton industry in the 19c. U. S. In this issue is contained first section and a part of second section. In first section we clitically examined the achievements on this subject in our country, made clear many problems awaiting solution, and presented the way to advance the study on this subject. In this part of second section we analized the position of American cotton industry; on the seat of factories, the markets of manufactures, the supply places of machines and materials, and conditions of purchase and selling, etc. Results of thease analysis is in short that: 1) ON THE SEAT OF COTTON FACTORIES: The center was in R.I. and Conn., and expanded radiatetly in New England, New York, etc. 2) ON THE MARKES OF MANUFACTURES: the outlet was two; the demand within and outside the region, and fundermentally within the region. 3) ON THE SUPPLY PLACES OF MACHINES AND MATERIARS: a) cotton came from southern states, b) others from principally New England. 4) ON THE SELLING CONDITIONS: a) long credit (3-10 months) was overwhelming in thu dealings outside region, on account of competition with English merchants, and b) cashsale and barter in region. 5) ON THE PURCHASE CONDITIONS OF MATERIALS: Manufacturer must purchase in cash on account of competition with English merchants. It may be given as a conclusion from aforegiven analysis. 1) The precondition of Industrialization, especially growth of cotton industry in the U.S. in first half of 19c. was the existence of a number of selfsubstaining local market areas in New England, Pa., and N.Y. states. 2) The cotton industry under "protectionism" increased the production over the demand within the region, and seekde the markets to the west and the south. Means of transportation; roads, canals, and railroad were constructed over the country, and combined the eastern industries with southern wheat. Thus U.S. defended the home market and achieved the unity of Nation by dint of the growth of this cotton industry.
