Detailed explanation-1: -Antebellum, 1832-1860 During this period, federal and state governments grappled with the contradiction of U.S. slavery. States in the northern regions of the country gradually abolished the practice of slavery, even as they maintained strong economic ties to the practice elsewhere in the country.
Detailed explanation-2: -One of the major contributing factors to the success of American manufacturing in the North was the use of interchangeable parts to facilitate mass production. New Englander Eli Whitney is credited with introducing the idea of interchangeable parts to the United States in 1800.
