The North developed industrially through the establishment of factories, railroads, and a focus on manufacturing, which led to urbanization and a diverse economy. In contrast, the South remained predominantly agricultural, relying on plantation systems and slave labor to produce cash crops like cotton and tobacco. This divergence created distinct economic systems, with the North emphasizing industrial growth and the South maintaining an agrarian economy. Ultimately, these differences contributed to regional tensions leading up to the Civil War.
