With cash crops of tobacco, cotton and sugar cane, America's southern states became the economic engine of the burgeoning nation. Their fuel of choice? Human slavery.

The leader of the United States is the President, who also is the chief of the executive branch and its cabinet. He is the most important decision-maker. At the state level, it is the governor. However, the US Congress and the state's congress also play a key roll in creating legislation.
