The north had mainly people who had paid their own way. They were mostly on an equal footing here in the beginning. The south, however, had some who had signed indenture agreements, saying that they would serve someone for x number of years in exchange for their passage. So the South had these and the people who hired them, with and almost nonexistent middle class.
