The Southern colonies are forced to sell their raw materials to their northern masters at a very low price, (sometimes the raw materials are exchanged for protection, from the north itself) the northern masters then use techniques stolen from the south to process the raw materials into products, this is where all the extra value is added, usually by employing illegal immigrants (the very ones they have driven out of business) the products are then sold back to the southern colonies and sold on to the northern markets at a huge profit.

Eg. Germany is the 4th largest coffe exporter in the world but it grows no coffee. All the profit is made in Germany, not at source, the south.
