In 1793 man named Eli Whitney's created an invention this machine was able to reduce the time it took to separate seeds from the cotton this creation was called the cotton gin. The invention help cotton become very profitable. It was a major economic difference between the north and south region. Down in the south the economy started only worrying about the cotton which means they depended on slavery but up North they worried more on their industries to help more with their work. Up north their industries were buying raw cotton and putting it into finished goods.
Economic: The southern economy was good because the British helped with the demand of cotton. Social: The North was happy because over $830 million went to the war effort and they benefitted greatly. Summary: The transportation of people and goods were changed by the invention of the steamboat and the railroad.
The South had a very different climate than New England, which caused some of the differences between these colonies. New England had lots of trading, fishing, and lumber due to the colder climate. The South, on the other hand, used the warmer climate to grow cash crops and run plantations. In order to aid the Southern farmers, lots of slaves were
There were many differences between the North and the South. For instance, the South were very agricultural as opposed to the North which were industrial. The South used cheap labor in the form of slaves, whereas the North had workers do their jobs in factories at a faster pace. Because of sectionalism, competition between the north and the south began to increase.
Some of the differences between the North and South colonies were economic, population and immigrants. The agriculture played a economic difference between the North and South. It was based on the crops that were cultivated and the amount of labor needed which lead to an economic diversity. The farmers in the North grew seasonal crops during harvesting times which allowed them time to tend to live stock on the side making them not 100% dependent on farming. The North was also known for their manufacturing which they would sell and trade in exchange for necessities they did not have at the time.
In the north the soil wasn't as fertile as it was in the south, so the north relied on manufacturing goods. Up near present day Canada, was where the French landed, and whom hunted beaver for their pelt to sell for profit in Europe, but their politics were different
The north ended slavery, started running an industrialized region, and as the farms in the North were producing more and prosperous. The developments of
The southern region realized that agriculture would bring profit unlike New England and Middle Colonies. On contrast of New England who had fairly little land than Virginia. Virginia would be the fist states which would cultivate tobacco which was in Chesapeake region. One of the major reasons that Virginia had a greater amount of slave was due to Chesapeake plantation which demanded a large amount of slaves to cultivate plantation. Meanwhile, up north in Massachusetts in the New England region slavery was not as high demand as in the south.
Eli Whitney was born on December 8th 1765 in Westboro, Mass. He was born on a farm and loved farming. Eli went to Yale to study to become a lawyer, but later became a tutor in South Carolina because it was well needed at the time. Nearly ten years later Eli created the cotton gin. Eli felt like this invention was needed due to the process of cotton was a long enduring process that needed to speed up due to the high demand of cotton.
The North was heavily invested in industry and had many of the major ports where they controlled imports and exports. The South was mostly consisting of plantations and produced many of the items that were traded. Both of these areas worked hard yet “...the North grows rich, and powerful, and grand” while the South struggled to find its power. The South did not have much to influence society because they mostly relied on the North both economically and politically. The Middle and lower classes did not want to “keep up this unnatural inequality in wealth” and wanted the right to “give to each man his original right to property”.
The number of railroads, canals, and wagon trails on the map are noticeable. The main reason is because the South has less development, compared to the North. I would like to add that the North is way more industrialized than the South is, to be completely honest. The South is pretty much all about agriculture, as where North is pretty much where there is job opportunities. I think these things had a social and economical impact overall.
Life in the North was different from life in the South. Geography of the North and South was important to their way of life. The society in the South treated slaves badly, but African Americans in the North were free. The geography of the North includes hundreds of bays in New England.
The South was able to produce 7/8 of the worlds cotton supply. The South became more dependent on the planted field system and it’s full of force part, slavery. Notably, at that moment, the North was flourishing industrially. The North depended on factories and others
The north has Bad farmland therefore they didn't have great agriculture. South has great farmland which meant they had a very good economy for agriculture and cash crops and much more. Secound was there various differences in the economy of the North and South. In the North for economy their was immigrants,textiles,cotton, and
