FRQ 7. In what ways and to what extent was industrial development from 1800 to 1860 a factor in the relationship between the northern and the southern states? (2006B)

Industrial development from 1800 to 1860 played a role in the relationship between the northern and southern states mainly through the industrial revolution.

    Economically, the South had one relied resource and one only: cotton. It was the root of their profits, their lives, their surroundings. Despite the white majority of the 1860’s not being a part of the planter aristocracy, it was still their personal American Dream: to own slaves on a plantation with a pretty wife and white kids. The Southern economy depended primarily on the production and working of slaves, as the cheap labor force. On the industrial hand, the North was all about hard work and…equal rights, but mostly hard work. Their primary focus for economic gain was industry. Railroads, telegraphs, machines…oh my! The North also had the advantage of economic stability from the California Gold Rush which aided them to flourish dramatically, though plummeted during the Panic of 1857, which negatively affected the North due to the inflation caused by the gold. Once California was accepted into the Union (as a free state), its abundance of gold deposits held the North on its high horse before the reoccurring panics.…

    The Southern economy depended primarily on massive accumulations of cotton and tobacco. Unlike the South, the North experienced the Industrial Revolution (OpenStax, 430). Devices or methods, such as the cotton gin and interchangeable parts made mass production possible. Due to the Civil War, the North focused on building a transcontinental railroad for quick infrastructure transportation. The Southern economy made its profit by exporting large amounts of cotton and tobacco to Britain. Since the founding of the colonies, the southern colonies’ methods of business drastically differed from its New England neighbors. For example, South Carolina divided because the southern region focused primarily on tobacco and sugar while the northern region specialized in lumber and ship parts. Eventually, this division led to the creation of North and South Carolina. This event exemplifies how quickly the…

    One of the main factors for this swap in sectionalistic/nationalistic feelings throughout the country was the beginning of the industrial revolution. Before the Industrial Revolution, some New Englanders even talked about leaving the Union during the Hartford Convention. After the Industrial Revolution, the North’s place in the Union would be stronger then ever. The industrial revolution caused many northern cities, such as Boston, major economic growth. While previously the New England colonies’ economies were not as strong as the South, the North overtook the South in economic terms. Factories sprung up and manufacturing became a major part of the economy. Unlike the North, the South was not as greatly effected by the Industrial Revolution. They remained in their agrarian economy even as the North advanced. This caused a divide between the amount of railroads and factories between the North and South. The South began to lag behind the North in economic growth. The roles that had been set in the 1810’s had been reversed. Now the South wanted to secede from the United States.…

    After the American Civil War the South was left in ruins, and the government did many things to oppress them and keep them under the North. One of the first being the Military Reconstruction Act. This slowed down the development of the south because the north forced them to focus their efforts on the reform of their governments rather than the development of the economy. However, more importantly, the main transportation system in the country at the time was dominated by the north. This was the Railroad system. The main problem that inhibited the south was that the northerners implemented a system where manufactured goods from the north and southern raw materials were cheap to transport. This kept the southerners in a niche of providing raw materials to the north by means of providing cheap prices for the transportation of raw materials.…

    The biggest factor in the changing economic and social economy for the north and the south was slavery. The south had many plantations, which were the main source of income for the southerners. Their main crop was cotton and tobacco. The southerners heavily relied on slave labor to harvest their fields. The north consisted of mostly traders and manufacturers. They believed that slavery was wrong and relied on American workers to work in the factories and businesses. However, this did lead to harsh working conditions and both women and child laborers. This also saw the expansion of the middle class. Trading within the United States was also encouraged. The different regions would trade with each other what they had in excess for what they needed. The south traded a lot with Europe. These are some major factors that attributes to the differentiation between the north and the south.…

    In the Old Northwest, “the contemporary name for the region north of the Ohio River and west of the Appalachian Mountains” an economy based on foodstuffs with a heavy center in the east focused on the consumption and manufacturing of goods. How did this differ from the southern half of the United States? The economy of the southern states lived by the motto where “Cotton was King.” Furthermore, the South was notable for its soil, climate and labor system, and specifically African-American slaves, as a central part of southern society as well as a critical piece in the southern way of life. It is here we start to see differing ways of life between the northern and southern halves of the country. In relation to the years prior to the Civil War, though, both the north and the south feared the other half’s way of life as a threat. It was southern fear that northern states were gaining an advantage in the number of free states, as well as representation in Congress. Running the numbers, it can be ascertained that out of the twenty-seven states in the Union by 1850, fifteen registered as free states while twelve were slave states. Out of the twenty-seven total states, there were 144 representatives of the northern states, with 82 for the southern states. Numerically we can see how the advantage clearly rests with the northern states in…
