Prior to the Civil War, the South was characterized by an agrarian economy heavily reliant on cotton production, which was supported by the institution of slavery. The region had a hierarchical social structure, with a small class of wealthy plantation owners at the top and a large population of enslaved people at the bottom. Additionally, Southern society was marked by a strong sense of community, often centered around church and local customs, and a political landscape that favored states' rights and agrarian interests over industrialization. This distinct way of life contributed to regional tensions with the industrial North, ultimately leading to the conflict of the Civil War.
