No, the resources of the South were only crops, no factories, no munitions, no mills. The South has plantations and some cattle, cotton and some timber, but nothing for help during time of war.
Scalawags.
Because the south had access to the waters and seas but north did not, and because of the tariff, the south could do hardly anything and because the southerners had built few factories and didn't benefit from the tariff. Southerners bought many British goods and the tariff drove up the price. The southerners complained that the tariff made northern manufacturers rich at the expense of the South.
The North had more factories than the South because the South relied on their agricultural based economy.
The south's economy would plummet. Slave labor was the only means for Southerners to make money. If slaves were taken away from cotton gin factories and large plantations, there would not be any work being done. Therefore, no slaves = no money. no money=bad economy.
