Most of the South became too dependent on one crop. The south lost out on the urban growth needed for an industrial economy. The South also lacked the commercial towns so common in the Northeast and Midwest. The stunt commercial development in the South did not attract the immigrants who needed wage work. Lastly, The South's limited consumer demand discouraged southern entrepreneurs from building factories. It was more profitable to buy a plantation.

I hope this answers your question!
