Mostly because they believed that Britain needed them. They relied on Britain getting cotton and other resources from them while in reality the British didn't need it as much, which meant that their plans were wrong from the start and that they would eventually fail economically. This is why their economy started failing and their money started losing value so they couldn't manufacture things and they couldn't sell them which meant that they couldn't sustain the war effort and and couldn't sustain their struggle. Eventually they lost the civil war because of things like this.
Explanation:
The only way white southerners could produce & pick cotton to meet the needs of the consumer, was by owning slaves. The more slaves, the more cotton produced & picked. All the profits went to the slave owner who in turn; provided awful housing, food, and water,(this made the slave owner richer). Same is true regarding minimum wage, the harder one has to work for their paycheck, the more business owners make for themselves.
The southern states were a society based on a division of classes. White Society and Black Society.
The White society was divided between:
Planters: The rich class that held the majority of the wealth of the southern states with them.
Middle class: Composed mostly by farmers who lived modestly growing cotton and corn.
Poor whites: Did not possess slaves and struggled for a survivor.
The Black Society was divided into:
Free black people: They usually bought they own freedom with money they saved.
Mulattoes: People of mixed breed that had plantations. They had limited rights and had to carry documents that proved they were free, if not they would become bonded laborers again.
Slaves: Tied to their owners usually resided in slave quarters away from their masters home.
C: to declare war.
Congress is the only beach that can declare war.
