To conclude, the north and south had many differences on everything because of the resources they were limited to obtain.

The Antebellum Era was a time of change in America. It can be looked at as the country discovering itself. From 1825-1850 there were a series of changes that went on throughout the country. These changes included the Temperance act; putting a ban on alcohol in order to make America more successful, perfect society; the women’s rights reforms, where the cult of domesticity was being questioned by women who advocated for their rights; and lastly, reforms in public education, which were significant because there would be no need to worry about uneducated individuals in later generations. All of these changes in society were changes that were meant to broaden what was classified as democratic ideals.…
The north's economy had many manufacturing factories which helped the economic development because of the industrial revolution. The North had more resources then the south had. The North had factories to make ammunition when in war. They also continued the growth of railroads which made it easy to bring supplies to troops and places. The North farmland was smaller than the south's because of the climate. The north's social structure had little need for slaves. The North was able to rebuild after the war because they weren’t as dependent on slaves like the south was. The Daily life in the north consisted of men working and women tending the house. The women had little education and the men always told them what to do. A woman usually got…
The South was able to benefit from the sale and production of the crops. While the North was able to benefit from the increased trade. This slave based economy also impacted American…
The geography of the land was also vastly different in each region requiring different sources of food. The south learned to depend on their farm crops such as rice and tobacco. Plantations were a big part of their colonization which soon led to slavery. Slavery was much more common in the south. The north traded livestock and furs with the Indians. This was one of the benefits of the relationships they had with them. They also ate apple, corn, pumpkins and other crops.…
The life style of North and South differed from the beginning when the Europeans arrived at new land of America. Initially, they had different ideas and motives, and had different surrounding environment. Because of the divergent characteristics of area, north mainly went for artisan-industry while South went for farming industry which demanded a lot of slaves. And also, their inclination of politics diverged which South was pro French while North was pro-British. Since the drafting of the Constitution in 1787, the North and the South had grown apart again in terms of economy, ideology, and society.…
The size of the population affected some particular aspects: the development of institutions, factories and transportation networks. There were more institutions (like churches, hospitals or schools) in the North and less in the South, which meant that the North became much more literate for it had more educational services. Besides, slaves were…
While the northern colonies developed into shipping centers for furs, timber, and other natural resources, the south developed into an important center for agriculture, with cotton, rice, indigo, and tea among its most important crops. Agriculture demanded many hands to make it a profitable enterprise and the slave trade became big business for both northern and southern colonies.…
The differences in their geography aren’t multiple. The North had fertile and coastal plains which helped them with farming. It also would help with a supply of more food. They also had large and thick forests as well, which helped them have enough wood to use. Although, the South had mild winters and hot summers just like the North did, they also had multiple swamps and marshes which also gave them fertile land to use for farming as well.…
The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War.…
The Antebellum Period in American history is for the most part recognized to be the period before the common war and after the War of 1812. It was portrayed by the ascent of annulment and the progressive polarization of the nation between abolitionists and supporters of subjugation. Throughout this same time, the nation's economy started moving in the north to assembling as the Industrial Revolution started, while in the south, a cotton blast made ranches the focal point of the economy. The extension of new domain and western development saw the fortification of American independence and of Manifest Destiny, the thought that Americans and the foundations of the U.S. are ethically better and Americans are more ethically committed to spread these foundations.…
The antebellum North and Antebellum South were more different due to the way they felt about slavery.…
In the Union their economy was mainly dependent on industry. Due to this many of their cities and factories were connected by railroads. With their economy so heavily riding on factories and immigrant workers they had no need for slaves and by the time of the Civil War slavery had died off there for the most part. Due to this fact they felt that slavery was an unnecessary construct. Walt Whitman who worked as a nurse during the Civil War, wrote a poem that greatly reflected the idealistic nature of the North “I Hear America Singing” in which he goes through the jobs of people in the North and how he hears them “sing”. He mentions mechanics, a mason, a carpenter and many more, however never once mentions slaves or the fact that had only two years earlier been in a horrific war that threatened to tear the nation apart (Whitman 260). The Confederacy was almost the exact opposite when it came their economy. The economy of the South mainly relied on agriculture. In fact, their main crop was cotton. They believed themselves so secure with this crop as their mainstay that they actually referred to it as “King Cotton”. Even with their economic boom beginning to slow down in 1860 and the North’s holding steady, they believed that all they needed was the cotton to get them through. The only problem was that they needed the industry in the North to refine and transport the cotton. The North had trains and other…
Life in the North were very different from life in the South. Geography is one thing that contrast in the two regions. Also the society is very different. The last thing is transportation. These things make the North and South very unalike.…
The economies of each region at the time were only similar in the way they were expanding and growing stronger. One way the two regions differed in economics was in the base of their economy. For example, the South’s economy was based on cotton farming, while the North’s economy was based on manufacturing. Because the South did not manufacture goods, they were forced to purchase products from the North to, thus adding to the North’s economy. Then, with the South’s money the North would purchase cotton from the southern states. Also, in the South, there were hardly any job opportunities for whites since slaves were used on the fields, but unlike the North, where job opportunities were great and mainly were abundant in factories for the unskilled workers. Many of these workers were immigrants from Ireland and Germany looking for work due to crop failure in their homeland.…
In spite of sharing a country, the Northern and Southern areas of America had many differences and distinctions, which ended up dividing the nation. During the first part of the 1800's the North and the South grew in different ways. In the North, cities were centers of wealth and manufacturing. There were many skilled workers. In the South there was not much manufacturing. There were not many skilled workers. Most of the people were farmers. Money came from plantation crops, like cotton, and slavery was a major piece of their economy. Their respective societies were also diverse.…
