The Differences Between The North And The South

Regarding the world in the 1800’s, life in the North was very different then life in the South. There are many areas that prove this statement to be true. Some differences include the geography, the economy, and society. The North and the South both have some things in common. Other than that, they are opposites when it comes to everyday life.

The English Colonies diversified greatly in their social surroundings throughout the Northern and Southern territories due to the differences in economic productivity, infant mortality, and marriage. The economies of the colonies widely differed from North to South. Southern colonies that included the Chesapeake colony especially, had the large scale farm as the main backbone for profit. Soil was rich and the temperature change was not as rampant as the North. Sugar and Tobacco demand in Europe allowed much of these large farms to expand and become extremely common in the South. Poor soil quality in the North pushed colonists to do lumber, furs, and fishing to stimulate their economy. Soil and weather allowed these colonies to have these stark

In 1861, the United States had faced its hardest time. North became popular in industrial and commercial, and the South had remained popular in agricultural. The peculiar institution separated the North from the South.

Yes, the South was justified from seceding from the Union.  First, the South are completely different than the North. Next, the South was a small majority when the North was the big majority and the North attacked the South for their views. In addition, the South owned themselves in a different way than the North, in a different system. The North just because they won the Civil War at the ending changed the history so the South doesn’t sound oppressed as they was so they were right to remove themselves from the Union.

Antebellum North and South In the lead-up to the Civil War, the internal relationship between the North and South had diminished to a point where they no longer affiliated with each other. The primary source of contention revolved around slavery, but the main problem was the discord that the slavery issue created. As a result of this discord, the two regions were reduced to bitter bickering nations which soon began to despise the other with every inch of their being. The hatred between the two nations did not help in the preservation of the Union, and in the end, the two sides separated.

Sectional differences between the North and the South have caused the two regions to disagree on multiple issues since the establishment of the United States. The North’s economy was primarily based on industry, while the South’s economy was primarily based on agriculture, which greatly changed the two section’s desire and need for slaves. When the United States began annexing new territory, disputes over the expansion of slavery became prominent. In the Missouri Compromise of 1820, Missouri was added to the Union as a slave state while Maine was added as a free state in order to maintain the balance between slave and free states, and slavery was prevented from extending above the 36th parallel line. In order to follow the guidelines of the Missouri Compromise, Southerners looked westward in order to expand slavery. Southerners supported the extension of slavery into western territories because it allowed them to use free labor to harvest cotton and other crops, and the addition of new slave states would strengthen the South in the House of Representatives, because more states would vote for policies that favored slaveholders. Northerners were against the expansion of slavery into Western territories because they believed slave labor undermined free white labor and took away job opportunities, and would disrupt the balance between free and slave states. Controversy over the expansion of slavery into western territories between the years of 1845-1861 contributed to the

In the time just before the Civil War, the United States was one of the most successful nations in the world. The United States had become the world’s leading cotton producing country and had developed industry, which would in the future, surpass that of Great Britain. Also, the United States possessed an advanced railroad and transportation system. However, despite its successes, the United States was becoming increasingly divided. The North and the South had many distinct differences in terms of their social, cultural, and economic characteristics that brought about sectionalism and, eventually, the Civil War.

The North and South emerged as two distinct regions because they had various differences. These differences included the geography, the economy, and the society and transportation systems during Antebellum. One of the most striking differences between the North and the South was the climate and geography. The North had rocky soil which made farming hard, because of this they turned to trade with things like timber for shipbuilding. The North’s climate had frozen winters and hot/humid summers.

The north was different from the south in many ways because their geography,society,and transportation were different from each other.They had different kind of weathers and different kind of people living there.

The Civil War was the bloodiest war in American history. America was split into two sides that had strengths and weaknesses against each other. It seemed they were the complete opposite. The North had more factories and railroads, while the South had more farms. Politics had a strong part to play too. The North had a better government, while the South struggled to form one. Finally, the North had a larger army throughout the war.

With Eli Whitney’s invention of the cotton gin in 1793, cotton became very profitable. This machine was able to reduce the time it took to separate seeds from the cotton. However, at the same time the increase in the number of plantations willing to move from other crops to cotton meant the greater need for a large amount of cheap labor, i.e. slaves. Thus, the southern economy became a one crop economy, depending on cotton and therefore on slavery. On the other hand, the northern economy was based more on industry than agriculture. In fact, the northern industries were purchasing the raw cotton and turning it into finished goods. This disparity between the two set up a

Even though the North and the South origins were both from Europe, their customs and living habits were different. The North and the South began to notice these differences as they broke away from Britain in the Revolutionary War. The North and South emerged into two different regions, due to their various differences. These differences included the geography, the economy, the social and classification status, and transportation.

Changes occur in every region of the globe; every minute, every second. Most individuals generally do not approve of changes. It entices fear, mistrust, isolation, and even pain. In my youth, I liked change. Changes were something to look forward to, it was fun to meet new individuals and an enjoyable way to see new places. It was useful to learn new skills and live experiences. So at the age of fifteen, my mother told me we were headed for America. No attention was given to these words, because I was a teenager who thought that the state of Texas would be quite similar to Toronto, but never could I fathom that this would completely change my perception of the world. These Challenges have led me to understand the different cultures between the north and south, not to believe in stereotypes, and made me adaptable.

The North and South being drastically different with their methods of schooling. The North was all about having public school. They had public elementary schools as well as high schools. Colleges were also in the attended and these were funded by churches and were private. These schools were set up as small buildings with several grades in one room. Teachers usually taught orally. The North used all types of corporal punishment which was encouraged during the times. Also, as factories started becoming greater in number kids in schools started to decline, but laws were passed saying child workers had to be educated. The south did not have or believe in traditional public schooling. The south believed in private schooling with tutors and in their homes because they felt that anything important that was needed to learn was from their home. Also there were academies in the south, which was a school where the rich sent their children to board and learn there. These schools were intense, using military type learning and strict

Inequality, a topic that I believe runs through the centre of Geography, dominates both the UK, and the entire world. In the UK, numerous economic, cultural and political factors divide the North from the South. To name a few: there is a missing year of life expectancy north of the line, children south of the line are much more likely to attend Russell group universities, house prices have recently soared in the South, and politically, the South tend to vote conservative, while the North vote labour.
