Agriculture became entrenched in the South primarily due to the region's favorable climate and fertile land, which made it ideal for cash crops like cotton, tobacco, and sugar. This agricultural focus led to the development of a plantation economy that relied heavily on enslaved labor, entrenching social and economic structures based on slavery. As a result, the South's identity, economy, and political power became increasingly tied to agriculture, creating significant regional disparities with the industrializing North. This agricultural dependency also contributed to tensions that ultimately fueled the Civil War.

The economic reliance on slavery in the South became entrenched over time, contributing to the region's dependence on the institution.
