When the USA was formed, it was the southern states which had the power and as such, much of what they wanted at the time they got. The agrarian south depended on slave labor so slavery wasn't abolished at the time. So slave power could either mean the political power of the South or the slaves they had doing their labor. A power shift wouldn't occur until the 1820's with the advent of industrialization.

How did the northerners get most of their income?
I'm going to assume that you mean the northerners of the United States. The northerners along the east coast got a lot of their income from sea trade, forestry, ship building, trapping, and the fishing industry in general. Northerners further inland were mostly trading, factories along rivers, and again forestry that provided many jobs of that, like wood carving. Over time industry took over and factories spread in the north and became one of the leading income providers for northerners, and was one of the reasons the North won the civil war.
