Question

Do you think the southern states were justified in resenting the industrialized urban areas of the North and Northeast? why or why not

Answer 1

I don't think it's justified.
The southern states had as many chances as the north and northeast states in creating the industrialized urban areas, especially doring the reconstruction period. 
But they chose to stay witht heir old ideology and resist the change. and each years the economic gap between the states becoming larger and larger.
