Answer:

1) The South had many many large plantations for various cash crops. In the 1800's the discovery of cotton gin occured. This machine greatly sped up the process of extracting seeds from cotton fiber.  This made more cotton plantations and thus, increased the need for more slaves. In the North however, the climate was not suitable to grow crash crops, thus the North had almost no need for slaves since factory jobs were occupied by women. At the constitutional convention a plan that benefitted southern states but didn't benefit Northern states, involved slaves. This was one of the main reasons why the civil war happened.

How did the second industrial revolution shape urban life ?
Alenkasestr [34]

With the influx of people to urban centers came the increasingly obvious problem of city layouts. The crowded streets which were, in some cases, the same paths as had been "naturally selected" by wandering cows in the past were barely passing for the streets of a quarter million commuters. In 1853, Napoleon III named Georges Haussmann "prefect of the Seine," and put him in charge of redeveloping Paris' woefully inadequate infrastructure (Kagan, The Western Heritage Vol. II, pp. 564-565). This was the first and biggest example of city planning to fulfill industrial needs that existed in Western Europe. Paris' narrow alleys and apparently random placement of intersections were transformed into wide streets and curving turnabouts that freed up congestion and aided in public transportation for the scientists and workers of the time. Man was no longer dependent on the natural layout of cities; form was beginning to follow function. Suburbs, for example, were springing up around major cities
