There are much difference between the colonies in the south and in the north. What made the colonies different was the contrast in longevity, the female’s freedom, and family structure. The most standing difference between the southern and the northern colonies was the stark distinction of mortality rate. In the south, or more precisely in the Chesapeake, both sex had a general lifespan of around 40 years; however, longevity in New England, the northern colonies, had approximately 20 to 25 years of life added to the average mortality rate in the Chesapeake. Because the settlers in New England have a better chance in living longer than that in the south, it can be concluded that the lifestyle in the north and the south are contradictory.…
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. In the North the black population was mostly concentrated in ghetto areas where homes and schools for blacks were inferior. 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 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.…
Clearly, one of the differences between the North and the South was there source of transportation. In the North they traveled by railroad and steamboats. In the South they traveled by steamboats and railroads. The South's main source for transportation was steamboats because they lived by rivers. The North's main transportation was railroads because they did not live by many rivers.…
During the 1600’s a social difference that the North & the South had was slave labor, the North did not depend on it like the South did. Most the of people in the North were families of Puritans, Dutch, & Quakers that operated their own farms and business, unlike the South most of their groups were people seeking to gain wealth. The Northern colonies, Puritans and Quakers based their societies of the bible, women were granted education, and young men were expected to earn a career on trade or work towards religious or political. Colonists in the South created a society based on farming, wealthy plantation owners controlled the economy, they also controlled the social and political life of the south. People in the South lived in large farms,…
The economy of the South depended primarily on slaves. Its settlers had plantations of cotton, which was very profitable at that time, but they needed a cheap labour force to work their lands (slaves). Living in the South meant either having a lot of money to invest on lands (for crop plantations) or working in the only available jobs, which were done by slaves. Since not everyone was able to afford high amounts of money or willing to do slave work, many decided to migrate to the North so as to find job opportunities there. These facts lead to differences in terms of population: the North grew much faster than the South. Besides, black population was concentrated in the South for its economy depended on black slaves.…
While the South was good for farming, and agriculture the North has warm, and humid summers, and snowy winters. The North's land is difficult for farming they had a short growing season. The North was rocky and hilly, so the Noth was great for factories, and used waterpower to run…
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. There were fewer slaves in the north and the whites felt no threat to their existence. Slaves were provided more rights in the north than in the south. Unlike the south, Slaves were allowed to own property, had certain rights in the legal system, and severe punishment of slaves was prohibited.…
Despite all these differences, the North and the South were still in common with one thing, their union. They were both parts of the Unites States, had a common government, and had agreed in many situations. During the 1800s, America was still growing and continues to do so. Foreign peoples came to look for a new beginning while others like the African were forced and capture to be slaves in the South. Both economies created and rely on different sources for their social and political structure.…
As said before by many people, the better man in certain situations is the person that learns that they are wrong, are willing to learn from their mistakes, for the sake that they will be able to move on forward from what they learned. The North and the south are like a teacher and student, the North can teach the South as a student how lead the reconstruction era for it to become successful however, its up to the South as the student to see what they think is best. As so the South did act foolish and led to many missed out opportunities for its lands to become successful with allowing the blacks to live as an everyday white person. Now, “the better man is the person who learns from their mistakes” and so that is why I placed the North as the teacher, they learned from their civil war in order to have had been shaped into a great place. Now no side is perfect at this point, with the North agreeing upon the…
Although they both had slavery the South was driven by it, while the North wasn't. In the North it has bad soil while in the South they had great soil. Also in the North they came for religious freedom while in the South they came for money. Although they had these difference they all came from England. People settled in the North and South Colonies for different reasons based on geography and culture, they had a different way of life, but also did things similarly.…
In the North living conditions were definitely better than the South. The black population of major northern cities grew by large percentages including New York and Chicago. A lot of African Americans flooded the urban areas when they were moving north. Many African Americans found jobs in factories,slaughterhouses and foundries. Most of the African Americans were sharecroppers and tenant farmer gave somewhat a good amount of their crops to the landowner's fields they worked in. Sharecroppers did not have a choice if they wanted to purchase supplies that was needed for them on credit from plantation stores at prices that were excessively high. This created a cycle of debt that increased each passing season. Working conditions were very difficult and sometimes even dangerous.In the 1920’s 800,000 African Americans left the south.

During the Antebellum period (late 18th century to 1861) that preceded the Civil War, the North's free society enabled industrialization. The free states produced 97% of the country's firearms and 93% of its pig iron (Wandrei, 2018). The opportunities of industrialization attracted European immigrants and led to the building of major cities in the North. By 1860, the population stood at 23 million compared to the South's nine million. By contrast, 80 percent of Southerners were employed in agriculture, compared to just 40 percent in the North.…
In the south the slave owners treated their slaves with no respect. They viciously beat them and gave them little to no food, clothes, and supplies to live off of. Since they were treated so poorly, they did not want to work. When the slaves do not work, the owner does not make money. But in the north, the slaves got things like a monthly allowance of “ eight pounds of pork, or its equivalent in fish, and a bushel of corn meal,” (Douglass 23) a yearly allowance of clothes consisting of “two coarse linen shirts, one pair of linen trousers…, one jacket, one pair of trousers for winter…, one pair of stockings, and one pair of shoes.”(Douglass 23) Whereas slaves in the south, the slaves were almost naked and got to eat mush, “coarse corn meal boiled.”(Douglass 36) Out of the two horrible situations which would you work harder for a few pounds of food or…
The North was different because unlike the south, where whites and blacks lived together geographically, they lived in separate parts of each city (Young, 1974). This resulted in the north becoming somewhat self- segregated, in contrast to the South where government was attempting to legislate desegregation.…
