In the early days when the first industries were being built, most people thought the more industries that were built, the worse your industry would do. But with today's economy it's a good thing to have had those early industries to show us how supply and demand are some of the most important parts of industry today.
Northeast and Middle Atlantic states had most of the factories, while the South was primarily agricultural.
The North could produce war goods more efficiently and quickly, because of all the factories they had. The South didn't really had factories at all, so they couldn't really get the same amount of war goods as efficiently and quickly as the North could. I don't really know if this counts as industrialism, but I am including it anyway. The trains were probably built with metal pieces molded in factories. The North had most of the trains and railways so they could supplies around faster than the South
The President is the most important representative of the United States in relations with other nations.
Because these new machines ran on water power, most mills were built near rivers.
Most factories were built near water to power the machines.
Most factories were built near water to power the machines.
Many of the first factories in the south were built to serve farmers needs by processing crops such as sugarcane.
the North
After the War of 1812, there were many new factories built in the North. New York, Delaware, and New Jersey were some of the first states that had a high concentration of factories in the early part of the Industrial Revolution.
Mainly in the eastern half of the US, cause the west wasn't explored yet. They were usually along rivers so that the water could be used as power. It was also more in the Northern half, like PA or NY.
Many businesses built factories in New England and the mid-Atlantic states after the War of 1812.
Factories could be built away from rivers using this alternative source of power.
North is the direction you seek. Now do the rest of your homework yourself.
Factories need transportation to bring in supplies needed inside the factory and to ship what is produced in the factory out to stores, the public, etc. Early factories didn't have the use of railroad and trucking transportation, so the quickest way for these early factories to bring things to the factory and ship goods out of the factory was by water. Therefore, they were built along waterways like rivers.
The early bridges that were built by early man were the log bridge. That is a a log was thrown across a river to cross.
19th century factories were often powered by mills that used the running water of a river. This is part of the reason many industrial towns were built on rivers. They were also powered by coal.
