Answer:
The South benefited by keeping slave labor. The North did not.
Explanation:
The South relied on old money and land and power handed down through generations. The main industry of landowners was extensive arable farming. This required a high volume of manual labor. However, paying labor and fair working condition and equal rights would have reduced the labor and reduced a land owner’s capacity to make a profit. Slaves provided labor. The North developed a free-labor industrial economy. This benefited from manufacturing but also benefited from the employees to be able to spend money and make money for themselves and aid economic growth for the entire country.
The value of enslaved African American’s increased during and after the revolutionary war as they fought in the war.
They were part of the reason that America won the revolutionary war - they left their masters to risk their lives for a country that looked down upon them originally.
