Part of the reason why slavery was different from work in the factories was that slaves never got paid. Though conditions in the Northern factories were terrible, at least they were given a salary with which they could buy things. There was a reward for their work. They were also considered voting citizens who had at least marginal control over the political fate of the country, and come before the Supreme Court to settle disputes. Slaves never had any of those rights, especially after the Dred Scott v. Sanford case in 1857

How were Northern mills and Southern plantations connected?

The Southern plantations were connected to the Northern mills because without the Southern plantations, the Northern Factories would have no crop to turn into products. For example, cotton would be picked by the slaves on the Southern plantations, and then be brought up to the Northern factories in order to mass produce such things like clothing. This occurred especially during the time of the Industrial Revolution when factories were becoming more abundant and the deskilling of laborers was rising. Resulting from the Industrial Revolution, many people and immigrants sought factory work, and this also increased the amount of slaves that were needed. Also, such things like the Lowell Mill came about, and the Interchangeable parts flourished.

What Northern Factories produced and profited from Wich of these?

Northern factories during the Industrial Revolution produced a range of goods, but they significantly profited from the manufacturing of textiles, particularly cotton products. The demand for cotton was fueled by the Southern plantations, which supplied raw cotton, while Northern factories transformed it into finished goods like clothing and fabric. This interdependence between the North and South played a crucial role in the economic growth of the Northern states. Additionally, other industries, such as iron and machinery, also flourished as a result of this economic dynamic.
