🇺🇸 **The Immigrant Who Industrialized America**
"_Eighteenth-century cotton entrepreneur Samuel Slater reminds us that cutting-edge knowledge often resides in brains, not books._"
📌 I suspect that this article was written to show the benefits of migration for a welcoming society. For those concerned about immigration, Mr Slater's change of domicile is not of concern and cannot be used as an example of the benefits of all migrants to a society. For these folks Mr Slater possesses an attribute that many of the migrants of today do not possess namely direct descent from northern European antecedents.
