ECONOMIC DIFFERENCE
the North: industrial
the North was against slavery
owners of factories needed a cheap labour in their factories so they needed the slaves to come to the North
the South: agricultural
the South relied on plantations and exporting the goods because some territories got really rich
owners of plantations cultivated cotton, coffee, rice and tobacco and it demanded a lot of work
the solution was to bring black people from Africa who were turned into slaves
the South wanted to preserve slavery at all costs because the plantations needed lots of labour
the tobacco leaves are tough and it’s hard to collect
they always asked: “How could it be cultivated without slaves?”
