While the South utilized slavery to sustain its culture and grow cotton on plantations, the North prospered during the Industrial Revolution. Northern cities, the center of industry in the United States, became major metropolises due to an influx of immigrants. With this willing and cheap workforce, the North did not require a slave system. Although some northerners found the institution of slavery morally reprehensible, most did not believe in complete racial equality either. Slavery became even more divisive when it threatened to expand westward because non-slave holding white settlers did not want to compete with slaveholders in the new territories.

The Civil Rights movement began to splinter in the 1960's as some began to question the success of the non-violent approach used

This statement is true.

In the 1960's many African Americans and black leaders rejected integration and non-violence in favor of separatism and aggression. Many were concerned about the cost of the peaceful approach - many injuries and deaths, without really resolving the segregation in the north of the country, concentrating on the southern part only.

A movement called Black Muslims emerged, with Malcolm X as its spokesman, demanding a separate, black only nation in the USA. This movement thought non-violence meant non-defense, thus admitting to racial segregation.

Another extreme black leader was Stokely Carmichael with his Black Power. He advocated the rights of black people to take their own power, without waiting for the whites to give it to them.
