Why the Northern and Southern history of the institution diverged so greatly after the Revolution?

The Northern and Southern histories of the institution diverged significantly after the American Revolution primarily due to economic, social, and ideological differences. The North industrialized rapidly, emphasizing wage labor and urbanization, while the South remained agrarian, relying heavily on slavery for its cotton and tobacco plantations. Additionally, the North's growing abolitionist sentiment contrasted sharply with the South's commitment to maintaining and expanding the institution of slavery, leading to deepening sectional tensions. These disparities ultimately contributed to vastly different cultural identities and political priorities, setting the stage for future conflict.

Is it correct grammar to say northern of a city?

No. "Of a city" needs to modify a preceding noun, and "northern" is an adjective, rather than being a noun. But "northern part of a city" or "north of a city" would both be okay, because "part" and "north" can be nouns. I don't understand why "of a city" needs to modify a preceding noun, however (if that is really true). In some other examples, a prepositional phrase with "of" can go with a preceding adjective -- for instance in "desirous of being chosen".
