Question

Slavery held the South in bondage to an archaic way of life?

Answer 1

True.  The South relied on plantation and the use of slaves to generate income.  It bound them to an outdated form of society were right were limited to a chosen race.  Also it closed their minds to new ideas that could have improved their way of life.  The North grew strong from industrialization and it also had farms but unlike the South, these farms did not need slaves to maintain it.  True.  The black codes were used to deny freed slaves as well as free Blacks the certain rights and privileges such as to own land and marry white women.  False.  The North was now growing in wealth because of its rapid industrialization.  It’s economy was far greater than the South.
