  4. Northern Climate/Geography • warm/humid summer • cold/snowy winter • rocky, hilly, infertile land, fast rivers

  5. Northern Economy lack of good farmland meant that people looked more to manufacturing and technology. Slavery was therefore unimportantbecause enslaved people were not needed to work the land. Factories developed Many peopleimmigrated from Europe in the early 1800s to the North

  6. New Technology in the North • Clipper Ships- “clipped” time off sea trips because they were so quick! • Locomotives and canals- made overland travel easier, quicker, and cheaper! • Telegraph and Morse Code-people could instantly communicate over long distances! • Steam Engine-used to make locomotives and steamboats move quicker

  8. Southern Environment • Climate – warm/hot summers, mild winters • Geography – hilly, fertile land

  9. Southern Economy • Plantation economy- large farms which produced cotton, sugar, indigo, and tobacco. • Cotton gin increased demand for enslaved labor. • Used enslaved people to farm the land and work in the large plantation homes • Few Railroads and industries because farming was so profitable • Population in the South consisted of: • Poor farmers • Wealthy plantation owners • Enslaved people

  10. Overview • North is Industrial (factories) • South is Agricultural (farms) • Culture (way of life) for those who live in the North (city life) or South (farm life) is very different from one another. • Keep in mind that there were farms in the north and cities in the south, but for a majority of the population, life was very different between the two regions.
