Technological advancements helped each one as it “harnessed to both agriculture and industry, plus a huge influx of immigrants to serve as a ready labor force, created a new dynamic economy”(Dickinson). When it came to the North, they were becoming increasingly dependent on factories as it brought them the most economic prosperity. While the South did have factories, it was never as intense as they mostly focused on agriculture and their King Cotton. Cotton brought them so much prosperity that they believed it “could buy ars, finance war, and lay the economic foundation of a nation”(Dattel).

For instance, education was a big difference between the North and the South. Everyone valued education, but in the South there was not any public school where children could attend unlike the North. Because there was plenty of land in the South, each landowner lived on their own land causing everyone one to be distant.
