Some Southern leaders wanted to develop a strong industrial economy in the South to diversify its economy, which had been heavily reliant on agriculture, particularly cotton production. They aimed to attract investment and create jobs through manufacturing and infrastructure improvements. This push was partly a response to the economic challenges faced after the Civil War and the desire to compete with the more industrialized North.

Southern leaders were concerned about the South's reliance on cotton because it created an economically vulnerable monoculture that left the region susceptible to market fluctuations and crop failures.

Additionally, leaders feared that over-reliance on cotton could hinder diversification and innovation, ultimately stunting economic growth and development in the long term.
