How was cotton still “king” at the start of world war i? a. it was grown by most southerners. b. those who had accumulated wealth in cotton before the civil war still held it. c. cotton production supported the leading industry. d. the ideas of the antebellum cotton plantation were still strong

The correct answer is B) Those who had accumulated wealth in cotton before the Civil War still held it.
