The invention of the cotton-gin.
This made cotton so profitable that Southern farmers began to calculate that they could break away and form a separate nation.
In the 1800s, crops struggled to grow in the northern United States primarily due to the region's shorter growing season and colder climate compared to the southern states. The harsh winters and cooler temperatures limited the variety of crops that could be cultivated. Additionally, the soil in many northern areas was less fertile for certain types of agriculture, making it challenging for farmers to achieve successful yields. These factors collectively hindered agricultural productivity in the northern regions during that time.
True. In the mid-1800s, the Southern United States was predominantly agricultural, heavily reliant on crops such as cotton, tobacco, and rice. The economy was largely based on plantation agriculture, which utilized enslaved labor to maximize production. This agricultural focus was a defining characteristic of the Southern economy and society during that period.
In the 1800s, the North and South of the United States differed significantly in terms of economy, society, and culture. The North was industrialized, relying on manufacturing and a diverse economy, while the South was primarily agrarian, dependent on cotton and slave labor. Socially, the North tended to embrace more progressive views on issues such as education and abolition, whereas the South maintained a hierarchical, plantation-based society that resisted changes to the institution of slavery. These differences contributed to growing tensions that ultimately led to the Civil War.
