∙ 11y agoThe colonies began that way. The southern colonies had vast flat land with plenty of water and it was a natural progression to plant crops. While the north had some cash crops but in other areas the land was not good for crops so they had to develop industry, shipping, and other means to earn a living.

∙ 6y agoBefore, during and after the US Civil War, the North's strong industrial base had its roots in the Industrial Revolution. The more densely populated North had textile mills, for example that were powered by the waterfalls in New England. The British had introduced factories that were well suited to the ports and workmen that were a large supply of labor. The South, on the other hand had soil and a climate well suited to growing cotton, rice and tobacco. As one nation, the USA was perfectly balanced. Southern agriculture helped to fuel the industrial North. For example, the Northern textile mills required the cotton grown by slave labor in the South. This gave the North a price edge in textile production. The USA was quite content in the cash products, like cotton, that were sold overseas to Europe.
