Commissioner of South Carolina, John Smith Preston, believes that “the South cannot exist without slavery…” (Page 72) which is why South Carolina was the first to succeed from the Union. Southerners did not want to put and end to slavery, therefore creating this uprising that influenced many factors such as states rights, the economy, and the state as a whole. With the many states succeeding in effort to dissolve the Union, politics played a big role between the North and the South. Dew realized that time and time again, in all the commissioners’ speeches and letters, slavery was always the main topic brought up along with other brief topics discussed in this book.…
With time though slaves were no longer in the northern states and only in the southern. The economy and politics in the south never really changed. The South embraced their ways and viewed them as the best, while the North advanced and changed greatly. The North was now filled with factories and produced a large percentage of finished goods, but the cotton of the South made up the largest percentage of the countries exported goods. The south had a rather distinct class system planters being the richest and so on and at the bottom are slaves.…
Economically the regions were very different, with the North being very industrial and independent, and the South relying heavily on the export of cotton to pay for the goods they needed to import. The federal government had a hard time creating fair taxes to keep both regions happy. Politically, the South fiercely believed in states' rights, while the North felt that a strong federal government could best lead the nation. Socially, the North and South differed on the issue of slavery and led very different lifestyles. Abolitionists fought for African-American freedom while many Southerners fought to keep the workers they needed to run their plantations.…
1.In the south there were many things separating the slaves. For example, in the lower regions of the south where there were people with less money, there were fewer slaves. In the uppers south most slaves worked on plantations, either in the fields or in the household. Some slaves had shorter work days while others worked from sun up to sun down. Because of the harsh conditions family, along with religion, were what kept slaves said it times of hard labor.…
The southerners were experiencing dramatically different developments than the northerners between the 1830s and 1860s. The crop of choice in the south became the cotton, and it was quickly labeled the king. Cotton contributed to half of the exports in the nation, and the Southern farmers knew that they would get rich if they continue to farm the cotton. Southerners brought slaves and slavery with them into the southwestern territories of the United States because for the farmer to grow cotton required slaves and land. The southerners did not care for the big cities, and they did not have jobs to offer which made it hard attract the immigrants the way the northerners do.…

The northern locales of the country tended to concentrate on exchange, dispatching and producing. The southern areas of the country tended to concentrate on farming and the mid Atlantic locale mixed both. As the country extended westbound new states like Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio were to a great extent rural yet still adhered to northern and southern lifestyles. These geographic and financial contrasts spurned social contrasts too. The vendors of the north were acclimated to a quicker paced way of life while the estate proprietors of the south assumed the part of the noble man rancher.…
The North was made up of small manufacturing industries, capitalists, and banking that were perfect for a middle class. In contrast, the South had a much stronger division between the upper and lower classes without much of a middle class in between. Also, there were more public schools and opportunities for education in the North; there were over 300 schools in America at the time of the Civil War and all but 30 of them were in the North. In the South, education and teaching was more for the upper classes and illiteracy was more common in the South than it was in the North (Smitha). Also, women were viewed much differently.…
The North and South have always followed different paths and by the mid 1800’s the differences were even more pronounced. The North was becoming more industrial, dedicated to immigration, free labor and supported a federal government. Slavery was not common in the North and it was even banned in some states. The South’s agricultural economy was founded on slavery and cotton and they supported a government that allowed states to make their own rules. Southerners viewed the North and their views as them trying to destroy Southern culture with their industrialism and growing abolitionist movement.…
The North and the South had opposing views on various important issues. While the South celebrated the beating of senator summer, it was a very tragic moment in the North. The Southerners were extremely pleased to hear that “the slaves of Columbia will present an appropriate token of their regard for him; the crowning glory, who has made the first practical issue for their preservation and protection of their rights and enjoyments as the happiest labourers on the face of the globe”(Source C). The Southerners neglected their fright of slavery meanwhile the Northerners believed whether or not a slave is a person will not outturn until the country declares a civil war as stated in Source D. Both The North and South had different views on the news.…
Comparison of the New England and Southern Colonies The colonies were first developed in the 1600’s, however the New England colonies and Southern Colonies were very different despite them both having similar reasons for coming to the new world. The southern colonies, consisting of Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia, were centered on making money and agriculture, whereas the New England colonies, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and New Hampshire, were centered on religious freedom from the Church of England. What makes them similar is that they both came to America to start a new life with hopes of being prosperous and healthy. Southern Colonies…

In the nearly 150 years since the official ending of the Civil War, we have had the privilege of being able to look back and see why things happened the way they did. We can see that both the North and South came into battle with certain advantages, as well as disadvantages. One question that remains involves whether or not the North was an inevitable victor. Here we will examine the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and come to a conclusion to this question. We can begin with the most obvious advantage for the North, which was in sheer manpower.…
