History

Katarina [22]4 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The plantation system played an important role in the southern economy because when British Colonists arrived to America, they divided the territory into large areas of land that were suitable for agriculture. And as the economy of the southern region was based on agriculture, it required of having a great number of land workers. That led to the expansion of slavery.

<span>It was Dwight Eisenhower. During this time war was at a stalemate as both sides wound back at the point where it all started.  They believed that neither side would make any headway.  An armistice was agreed upon by all parties and this led to the establishment of a Korean Demilitarized Zone.  On July 27, 1953, the armistice was signed and the fighting ended and peace talks began.  Though the fighting had stopped, there was no peace treaty and it was considered a draw.</span>

How did slavery affect Southern industrialism?
adoni [48]

It was the main activity of the Southern economy and thwarted industrialization.

Explanation:

Before the Civil War, the North tended to have an economy that was increasingly industrial, it was not the case in the South. The economy in the South was much more based on agriculture, and it was thus much more rural(it had only three major cities, New Orleans, Vicksburgh and Atlanta) as well as the capital of the Confederacy Richmond Virginia.

On the eve of the Civil War, the South had 4 million slaves(the population was roughly 9 million people. Most white people did not own slaves(those who were slave owners had less than 10 slaves generally) and were poor farmers working on the lands left over by the planters. 80 % of the industries were in the North which explains why the South eventually lost the war.

The Civil War ravaged the South, nevertheless it made possible its industrialization by destroying the institution of slavery and the aristocracy which thrived on it. The exportation of cotton had brought great wealth to the south, but the wealth had been unevenly distributed.
