One negative thing about the Textile Mills was that they had slaves work the machines so it increased the amount of slaves America had, which I think is terrible.
The North did not have very good farming soil so they relied on mills and factories! They did not need slaves because they did not farm and they had mill girls to work in the mills so they simply did not need slaves. But the south relied on plantation and if they had slaves they did not have to pay them and they got all the money!

Mills were mainly located in the North due to the fact that the mills needed a flowing water source to be powered. There were many streams and rivers, which could power mills, in the North. Another reason why mills were mainly in the North was because the South was all about agriculture and didn't want to waste money on mills when they could buy slaves for labor in the fields.
Slaves would work from sunrise to twilight for their entire lives
