A key feature of the South that impeded industrialization was its reliance on an agrarian economy, particularly the plantation system dependent on slave labor. This focus on cash crops like cotton and tobacco limited investment in industrial infrastructure and diversified economic development. Additionally, the South's lack of transportation networks, such as railroads, further hindered the movement of goods and resources necessary for industrial growth.
