North VS. South
The economies of the North and South contributed to the Civil War, and I am going to tell you how. The north didnt't have plantations like the south did, they had factories. That meant that there was no need for slaves in the north, they just provided jobs for the average Joe. In the south it was a whole other thing. The north's economy was basically made up of factories as I've said, but the south did not have factories only farms. They didn't have the money to pay people to work for them so whats better than workers.... slaves.
