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.…

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.

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…

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 the South there was not much manufacturing. There were not many skilled workers. Most of the people were farmers.
