From colonial times there were differences in geography that gave rise to variations in culture and economy in the United States. Due to the differing characteristics, a sectional economy molded the United States into two distinct regions: the north and the south. The north, a commercial society, which supported industry and commerce while the south, an agrarian civilization, flourished in the production of raw materials with use of slaves. The two economies were both self-supporting and capable to create a stronger, more productive nation. The regional differences sought to build America, in turn threatened to destroy it. Many Historians believe that the Civil War was constructed over the issue of slavery. However, the concerns of states'

The North attracted many people for religious reasons and eventually developed a profitable shipbuilding industry based on the natural forests and harbors. More people who were interested in profit inhabited the South. This lead to the importation of a lot of slaves. Women's and slaves rights differed too, the South had fewer women so they were treated better, and the North had fewer slaves so they were not treated as bad. But overall both regions profited and lived happily off their

Throughout the 19th century, the distinctions between the North and South in the United States were controversial. Prior to the Civil War, the North consisted of business owners and middle-class men. The South consisted of mostly farmers. The North was industrial, using railroads and factories. The South was agricultural, with mostly farms and plantations. The North paid their labor workers. The South used slaves. Not only did their opposing views on slavery and the separation of the two cultures, tensions arose that eventually led to one of the most gruesome wars in history.

There were several issues that contributed to the split between the northern and southern states. Among these were the deep social, economic and political differences. The split could be traced as far back as the early 1800’s, just as the industrial revolution was beginning. It’s effects on the north and the south caused the economic split. As the north was becoming more industrialized; the south began to rely heavily on slave labor. This was one of the main reasons, as the southern view on slavery differed greatly from the North. These views were based on drastically different interpretations of the constitution.

While the North lightly interpreted the United States Constitution, and while pursuing industrialization and the expansion of cities, the South remained mostly agricultural. During this period in America, it seemed as if there was a major divide in the country and even completely

One of the key factor contributing to the Civil War was States Rights. This refers to the struggle between federal government and individual states over political power. One side argued for greater state’s rights and those arguing felt that the Federal Government needed to have more control over states. The states felt they should have the right to decide if they were willing to accept certain federal acts. Meaning that states had the right to rule federal acts unconstitutional. The federal government denied states this right. When nullification would not work and states felts that they were no longer respected, they moved towards secession from the Union. The southern people were viewed as democratic and depended slaves for the plantations, they were devoted to agriculture and shipped cotton up north and favored low tariffs.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. He was elected in 1828. He did many things when he was president. He was an effective president. He did what was necessary for success. He did this in the Corrupt Bargain and Democratic Party, Spoils System, and in the Indian Removal Act.

While the North was more industrial, the South was more rural. Slavery was a much more common practice in the South. This situation quickly escalated into a civil war between the North and the South.

Andrew Jackson was our 7th president of the united states he was born on March 17,1767 and died on june 8 ,1845. He served his terms through (March 4 1829-1837) he vetoed the bank in 1832. He supported removing the indians and cherokees in 1830 and his hermitage in 1804 started that is when he started to take over and take care of the enslaved African-American women, men, children.

Andrew Jackson was the seventh president of the United States. He was born on the frontier and kept that grit to his dying breath. He was a proud southerner who did not hesitate to punish those who insulted his wife or his honor. While president he was radical in his principles and attempted to take the power from the aristocracy and give it to the average person. One main way he tried to do this was by making changes in the economic system. These economic changes included requiring all federal land to be bought with hard money (gold and silver) because Jackson strongly distrusted paper money, taking funding, and support from the bank of the United States. Andrew Jackson’s legislatures pertaining to the United States economy lead the US to an economic collapse in 1836.

In Donald Robinson’s, Slavery in the Structure of the American Revolution, he eloquently articulates the original purpose of separation of power in the United States of America: to protect private interests and freedom. Considering that separation of power is viewed as a means to prevent a unitary and centralized government, the issue of slavery influenced the adoption of separation of power. While equality is a quintessential reflection of America, the power of states’ rights prevents states from being consistent with American values. In this paper, I will examine the principle concept of separation of power in the context of ensuring private interests, in particular, the institution of slavery and segregation. I will argue how

The Civil War was a time of fighting within the United States brought on by many events including the Missouri Compromise, abolition movement, presidential election of 1860, secession of Southern states, and other occurrences. Most Southern states seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate States of America. The big divide stemmed from the differing positions on slavery. The North had been gradually abolishing slavery and did not depend on such free labor in the way the South did. The agricultural dependant economy of the South relied on African American labor. Therefore, each side feared the stance the government would take on the issue of slavery and how that would affect the economy and politics of the nation. From 1861 to 1865, the

Slavery was almost totally abolished in the northern states after 1787 when the Constitution was drafted at the Philadelphia Convention and slavery was looked upon as the ‘peculiar institution’ of the southern states, by the north. The southern states looked upon slavery as a way of

One of the main issues that caused the civil war, was a debate over the future of slavery. The northern states, over time had gradually abolished slavery. With a steady flow of immigrants, from Ireland and Germany during the 1840s and the 1850s, led it to where the northern states had many laborers that they could hire. Many of immigrants worked for low wages, diminishing the need for slavery in the north. The south was more of a agrarian economy which utilized slaves, the south used slaves, to help work on the large plantations and the many other duties on farms. The debate over slavery led to a secession, the secession caused a war between the northern and southern states because the north wanted to preserve the Union, and the south wanted to establish its own southern independence as a new confederation of states, with its own

The difference between the north and the south was that the south was mainly agricultural, while the north was mainly industrial. They also both needed something from the other. For example, the north manufactured clothing, while the south produced cotton with the cotton gin. The north needed what the south had which was cotton to make their clothing, while the south needed to buy the clothes that the north created.
