The North Eastern United States was rapidly being industrialized. There were a growing number of cotton mills, manufactering, banking etc.

However, the Southern States, also known as the Bible Belt was mainly dependent on agriculture. The local people were farmers and landowners who relied on the land and their lifestock for an income.

They were able to make large profits by using slave labor which was far cheaper than hiring regular labor.

The eradication of the slave trade was seen by them as an attack on their livlihood.

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

The United States can demonstrate its superiority to the Soviet Union by sending a man to the moon.

Explanation:

The "Apollo program" of the U.S. was<em> a response to the early successes of the Soviet Union,</em> especially when it comes to "outer space." Even before, a Cold War was already happening between the United States and the Soviet Union.

The Apollo program was an opportunity for the Americans to prove themselves that they can demonstrate superiority to the Soviet Union when it comes to science and technology by sending a man to the moon. Thus, President Kennedy made a statement regarding the capability of the nation to achieve the goal. He wanted the nation to focus on the moon race and to add more budget to make it happen. In the end, they were indeed victorious.

So, this explains the answer.
