During the 1800s, the South's manufacturing industries included textiles, iron and steel production, and tobacco processing. The textile industry, particularly cotton mills, grew significantly due to the region's abundant cotton supply. Iron and steel production emerged as important for railroads and construction, while tobacco processing became a major agricultural manufacturing sector, driven by the demand for products like cigars and chewing tobacco. Despite these industries, the South remained largely agrarian compared to the industrializing North.
