The cheap labor provided by enslaved people allowed Southern plantations to produce cotton at a low cost, leading to increased profits for Northern manufacturers who processed and sold the finished goods. Additionally, the financial institutions in the North, including banks and insurance companies, profited from investments in Southern plantations and the slave trade, further intertwining the economies of the North and South.
