John Licata * The economic differences were: * The North had an industrial based economy. * The Southern economy was agriculturally based * The North was represented with the Whig party * The south represented by democrats * south encouraged slavery * north did not mind slavery, but tried to prevent it from spreading to the rest of the country
North
South
The north had very hard soil so it was very hard to plant and grow crops in. So to maintain their economy they used textile mills with all the rivers flowing through there which gave them factories. They also did not agree with slavery.
In the South, they had very rich and fertile soil which made it easier to grow crops. But this made them have a higher demand for slavery.
The North was more heavily influenced by factories and the industrial revolution, whereas the South was more agricultural based.

In 1836, Texas became independent, the Mexicans left, leaving their cattle behind. Texan farmers claimed the cattle and set up their own ranches. Beef was not popular so the animals were used for their skins and tallow. In the 1850s, beef began to be more popular and its price rose making some ranchers quite wealthy.
Twopence GBP in 1850 had the purchasing power of about £0.64 GBP today. NOTE - This historical conversion is the result of many calculations and considerations by a purpose designed program for which I can take no credit. The resulting answer should only be regarded as an approximation.
During the 1850s-1860s, the South was being particularly beaten financially, due to spending tactics issued from the North. For example: A farmer in Texas, who's crop is cotton, would have to pay for it's shipping, both to AND from the looms in the North. They had to pay for cross-state toll fees wherever the train tracks crossed a toll road. They had to pay for the coal and wood used to keep the trains going. As a result of these tactics, the South become financially unstable, as farmers would go bankrupt, resulting in some cases to theivery of Northern goods as being the only recourse the South had, in many cases, to sell and use the proceeds to feed a given town, city, area. The Northern Looms also stipulated payment by weight. If the load they received was not the exact agreed weight, whether in lack or excess, the farmers in the south would not get paid. The farming of cotton, before the cotton gyn, was gruelling work which no one person can possible do alone. It took several teams of people, usually between 53-102, in order to succesfully harvest a full crop sufficient for payment from the Looms in the North. Since money was extremely tight, the only means the South had to accomodate the need for personnel, was through slavery. Slavery was recognized as a standard for basic survival. Since farmers could not make enough money to pay for the help they needed, they would, instead, provide housing, clothing, and food. These resources, which were plentiful in the South, were recognized by the North as being of little or no monetary value.
