The northern soil and climate favored smaller farmsteads rather than large plantations.While in southerns the fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for large-scale farms and crops like tobacco and cotton. Because agriculture was so profitable few Southerners saw a need for industrial development.

How did the slavery issue get tied up with manifest destiny in the 1840?

As a result of this theory that white settlers were 'destined' to colonize the whole of what today is the USA, new territories were settled and these territories were coming up for the status of US States. The discussion about slavery had already been going on for some time between the slave-holding South and the Northern States. In the until then existing States the South had an equality if not a majority position in the discussion, and the issue had for the time being been more or less settled in the Missouri Compromise. The new States however threatened to upset the balance of power between the slave-holding States and the rest, and the Southern States therefore insisted that newly established States should also formally become slave-holding States. The Northern States opposed this, as did a sometimes large part of the inhabitants of the newly colonized areas.

First off no one would one Obama to be president any more and the economic crisis will have gotten worse. right now Romney has northern states and Gingrich might have the southern states. Santorum will take the western frontier. They will then become president of their areas. As we fight the world will also fall apart and countries will change with out our knowing. We will fight our selves casualties will be about 60 million or more because major cities will be targeted by LRMs and SRMs.
