The North relied on industry and the South relied on agriculture, meaning inventions in the South, such as the cotton gin, helped Southern agriculture while inventions in the North helped industry. Transportation in the North was more important because it affected trade of manufactured goods which were greatly produced in factories. However, transportation got better in the South as well because many railroads were built, some used for slaves to escape to the North. Population in the South increased because of the increase of the amount of slaves, whereas the population in the North increased for a different reason. It increased because of the amount of immigrants looking for jobs in factories in the North. Cities in the North grew large and polluted from the many working factories while cities in the South were full of plantations kept by wealthy in which many slaves worked for cotton production. The economy in the South and North increased. As slavery increased, cotton production and profit increased in the South. As mass production in factories increased in the North, a middle class formed and many people got wealthier. Clothing also got cheaper. The North and the South both changed a lot during the 1840s, but they still had many similarities.

Transportation became faster and easier. Steamboats changed transportation for the better. Robert Fulton designed and launched steamboat in the Spring of 1803, but it broke apart and sank. Fulton worked on the Clermont, and it was a success. It made its first voyage along the Hudson river on August 17, 1807. The railroad was also an amazing form of transportation. The first railroad was the Ohio and Baltimore  railroad.

There was not as much transportation in the South. It depended more on post transportation. Railroads were present and the Underground Railroad was a famous one that Southern slaves used to escape to the North.

The Southern culture was mostly based on farming and agriculture. Children worked in fields. It was dependent on slave labor and upper class farmers.  Free African Americans did well in cities like New Orleans but it was dangerous for blacks in the South because sometimes after rebellions whites would force free blacks to become slaves.

The growth of immigrants caused discrimination in the North. Northern culture was mostly based upon cities, and not farming.

Agriculture was the base of economy in the South. Slaves and slave labor was really important. Cotton and the cotton gin were very important to Southern agriculture. Unlike the North, no Middle Class was formed. Wealthy plantation owners became even richer with the invention of the cotton gin.

Americans invested one billion dollars in business, because factories in New England produced manufactured goods. Manufacturing was the base of Economy in the North, and immigrants worked in factories. Clothing became cheaper, because of machines and mass production. Machines made clothing faster and cheaper. Therefore, it was more profitable to make clothing.

Northern cities grew very large. Unfortunately, there were filthy and polluted streets. This was caused by all the factories. There was an absence of a good sewage system.

Southern cities changed because machines replaced hand labor. There were plantations (especially cotton plantations) where the wealthy kept slaves that did all the work in the plantations. Since African Americans were  treated as slaves, many would try to escape to the North and there were violent uprisings against slavery. Many Southern whites believed slavery was acceptable, though, and in response to rebellions, such as Nat Turner's rebellion, the North fought back and started forcing even free blacks to become slaves.

In the year 1800, there were about 500,000 slaves. In 1860, this number increased to about 2,500,000 slaves. Because these new agricultural inventions required slave work, the population of Southern slavery greatly increased.

The population in the North increased a lot. There were many immigrants who immigrated to work in factories during the Industrial Revolution. There were many German and Irish immigrants who came to the North to escape famine and harsh rulers. In 1845 there were 40,000 immigrants. In 1853 there were 160,000 immigrants.

The South relied on slavery because a new machine was invented called the cotton gin and slaves worked to produce the cotton using this invention. There was also the invention of the fan which the wealthy used to cool off on hot days.

The telegraph was a major invention in the North. The telegraph was invented by Samuel Morse, and it made communication much faster.
