Alexander Hamilton was born circa January 11, 1755 or 1757 (the exact date is unknown), on the island of Nevis, British West Indies. In 1777, Hamilton became General George Washington's assistant. In 1788, he convinced New Yorkers to agree to ratify the U.S Constitution. He then served as the nation's first secretary of the treasury, from 1789 to 1795. On July 12, 1804, in New York City, Hamilton died of a gunshot wound that he sustained during a duel with Aaron Burr.

What was the primary way the farms in the south differed from those in the north ?
ehidna [41]

The primary way that farms in the south differed from those in the north is because the farms of the south raised cash crops using a plantation system.

Further Explanation:

In colonial America (1600-1775), slave labor was used throughout the 13 American colonies. In the North, slaves were used in industries such as shipbuilding. In the South, slaves were used for planting cash crops like tobacco, rice, and indigo.

Once America became independent and started developing its own rules, the views on slavery changed. After 1800, some states started to outlaw slavery while other states kept it. One of the biggest changes was that Southern states focused predominantly on growing one extremely important cash crop, cotton. America became the largest exporter of cotton in the world.

Despite the economic success, slavery brought with it many negative effects such as the mistreatment of African Americans, fights between abolitionists and pro slavery citizens, etc.

Ultimately, this institution would be one of the main factors in sparking the Civil War.
