ANSWER: During the colonial times of Rhode Island, a man by the name of Samuel Slater, an English machinist settled in Rhode Island. Slater, helped to establish the American textile industry. In the late 1700's, he built the first cotton spinning mill driven by water power. Nehemiah and Seril Dodge, Rhode Island brothers, started the jewelry industry in America. Rhode Islanders also were prominent in boatbuilding, fishing, shipping, and whaling industries. Also, during the colonial period, you could find plantations, somewhat like those in the South. Slaves worked the land and took care of the cattle, horses, and sheep. The plantations also produced great quantities of cheese. However, the importation of slaves was prohibited by Rhode Island in 1774.
