Sagot :

Im pretty sure its B. the south more heavily depended on slave farming iirc

Answer:B

Explanation: The north experienced what is known as the Industrial Revolution far before the south. The south depended on slaves and their crops (such as tobacco and cotton) to build their wealth. The North quickly saw a growth in steel factories and such, so they relied on trade and terrible working conditions.
