How did the economy in the south encourage a dependence on slavery that the economy in the north did not?
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.
