The southern economy was based on agriculture and the plantation system. The north was forced to go to industry because they didn't have the fertile flat land to grow vast acres of crops.

Slavery became more widespread in the South due to the region's reliance on agriculture, particularly cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar that required intensive labor. The warm climate and longer growing seasons in the South also made it more conducive to large-scale farming operations that used enslaved labor. In contrast, the North had a more diverse economy with more emphasis on industry and commerce, which did not rely as heavily on slave labor.
