The South was an agricultural society. Farms, especially before the advent of machines, required labor. Slavery provided cheap labor. This added another level to society. The financial standing of families was often valued by the number of slaves that were owned.
Northerners generally had a more diversified economy that did not rely heavily on agriculture, reducing their dependence on slave labor compared to the South. Additionally, the ideals of the North, such as industrialization and urbanization, aligned more with the anti-slavery movement's belief in individual freedom and equality. The North's greater access to education and social reform movements also contributed to a more progressive attitude towards abolishing slavery.

Generally speaking, the slavery in the South and its agrarian economy led to its downfall. The North had good farmland and did not depend on slave labor.
The Southern economy was predominantly agrarian, relying heavily on cash crops like cotton and tobacco, which required a large labor force for cultivation and harvesting. This created a dependence on slavery, as enslaved people provided a cost-effective and readily available workforce. In contrast, the Northern economy was more industrialized and diversified, focusing on manufacturing and commerce, which did not necessitate the same reliance on slave labor. The economic structures thus reinforced differing social and labor systems, perpetuating the South's dependence on slavery.
