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.…

Socially, the North of America had made more progress than the South. The North experienced de facto segregation, which meant that blacks were discriminated against but not segregated by law. This meant that socially black people were more accepted than they were in the south.

This meant that black people were not living around white people and that their homes were of a lower standard than the homes of white people.…

The North and The South After 4 grueling years, The Civil War finally came to an end on May 9th, 1865. Most believed the Civil War was started was because of the “Free states” (The North) and the “Slave states” (The South) couldn’t come to a compromise over the power of national government to stop slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860 and vowed to keep slavery out of territories. The Civil war is an incredibly crucial part of history, and the North and South have a lot to do with it.…
The economy of the North was through commerce, industry, finance and manufacturing. Hence, its economy was much more versified and many different jobs became available: farmers, merchants, millers, manufacturers, mechanists, etc. Since the economic activity was better and grew faster, the North became the most populated region of the States and therefore, more urbanized and industrialized than the South. Due to the fact that there were almost no slaves in this region, white population grew more here. Immigrants also settled in this region for the same economic reasons.…

They used slaves for every labor job that was needed but in particular, the grueling hard labor of working the plantation fields. Slavery was far less of an economic influence in the north.

Unlike the south, Slaves were allowed to own property, had certain rights in the legal system, and severe punishment of slaves was prohibited.…

Their views on the way the country should be run included slavery as illegal. As a result of winning the 1860…
The North was always more powerful than the South, as in economically and politically. Why? Well because the North is more industrializing than the South. Where in the South for the past decades, have had always relied on agricultural production, which is also always relying on the African American’s cheap labor. And with the disagreement in the usage of slavery, the conflict arose to become a war. The North first started the Total War used by U.S. Army Philip Sheridan. Sheridan made a move to capture the South in the tactic plan. During the war, Sheridan rose to the command of the Union's cavalry and by the time the Confederacy surrendered, he saw action in Mississippi, Tennessee, and Kentucky and in Virginia, where his campaign through the Shenandoah Valley lays the important source of the Confederate supplies. At Petersburg he won an important victory that halted Robert E. Lee's retreat from Richmond and helped bring the war to an end.…

Their population was now healthier and now families were larger than ever before.…
