Detailed explanation-1: -How did farming in the Northeast differ from that in the South? Northeast: farms small, grew crops for local markets; South: farms could be large, grew cotton for exports. Was the new technology necessary for the Industrial Revolution? New technology made it possible to produce more goods more cheaply.
Detailed explanation-2: -What was the main difference between the types of crops grown in the North and those grown in the South? Main crops in the North were consumable. Main crops in the South were cash crops.
Detailed explanation-3: -The fertile soil and warm climate of the South made it ideal for large-scale farms to grow crops like tobacco and cotton. Because agriculture was so profitable, few Southerners saw a need for industrial development. Eighty percent of the labor force worked on a farm or plantation.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Northern free states also were proved to produce more crops than the South, even with the North having considerably smaller labor force than the South’s slave industry.
