Lack of fast-moving streams to power the mills. The south also had a very prosperous tobacco/cotton plantation system going, and there was no need to industrialize. On the other hand, the land to the north had been depleted, and the farming wasn't that good anymore.
The North was characterized by industrialization, urbanization, and a diversified economy that included manufacturing, commerce, and a growing workforce. In contrast, the agricultural South relied heavily on plantation farming, particularly the cultivation of cotton, which was dependent on enslaved labor. This economic divergence fostered distinct social structures, cultural values, and political ideologies, ultimately contributing to tensions that led to the Civil War. Additionally, the North's emphasis on education and infrastructure further distinguished it from the South's agrarian focus.

This disparity in urban development was a key factor in the economic and social differences between the two regions.

There is a bit of misunderstanding here concerning slavery. There were no "city slaves" and any African American in the south was a slave. To leave the plantation they had to have a pass. On the plantation there were different jobs that determined the type of slave they were.
