After slavery was abolished in the South, many plantations relied on sharecropping and tenant farming as a means of cheap labor. In these systems, former slaves and poor white farmers worked land owned by others in exchange for a share of the crops, often leaving them in a cycle of debt and poverty. Additionally, many plantations employed labor from migrants and impoverished workers, further perpetuating exploitative labor practices. This transition maintained the agrarian economy's reliance on low-cost labor while circumventing the legal implications of slavery.

How did economic differences between north and south contribute to their different views towards slavery?

The South depended totally on the cotton trade, which needed slave labor. The North was rapidly industrialising and had no use for slavery. The difference in attitude could be summed-up like this. When the slavery debate really started to heat-up in the 1850's, both sides put pressure on the churches to preach the official line. Northern ministers preached that slavery was an ungodly system, and a sin against humans created in the image of Our Lord. Southern ones preached that slavery was a perfect God-given arrangement of man and master.

Why was African slave trade necessary?

Slavery has been around since the beginning of human history. Slaves were prisoners of war, convicts, or peoples that were considered inferior. Europeans considered Africans to be inferior in a"Social Darwinism" way. But before Darwin even appeared,Europeans considered themselves superior to Africans because of their advanced technology and civillization. It was actually rival slave tribes thatwould capturethe enemy tribe members and sell them to the Europeans. The African slaves tribes really hit their stride in the early 1800's when there began to heavydemand for slaves in the newfrontiers such as the US. Big Plantations in the South America, Carribean, and in the south US, neccessitated a large manlabor pool and the slaves were necessary in order for them to make the agarian culture thrive at its highest level.

How did the Declaration of Independence and constitution influence the north and south ideas on sectionalism and slavery?

The Declaration of Independence really didn't influence ideas of slavery. But the Constitution made some slave states and some free states all though out the 1800's. Slavery was really influenced by the environment. Like in the south there was a long growing season and good growing soil. But in the north there was the opposite. So in the south farms and plantations grew because of the good growing conditions so then farmers bought more slaves to do the labor.
