Why did cotton "rule" the deep south?

History
1 answer:
dsp733 years ago
8 0

Answer:

C. It had a high potential for profit.

Explanation:

The Southern States relied heavily on the slaves for their work be it agricultural produce or even farm work. Plantations of tobacco, cotton, grapes, rice, etc. would become the home for many slaves.

The fact that cotton came to 'rule' the deep South was because of the crop's potential to incur a higher profit for the farmer. Depending on the season and market, cotton crops would make huge profits which became a boon for the plantation farm owners. Producing cotton through the slaves enabled the landowners to get a better income than planting other crops. Moreover, it was also relatively easy to grow, be it in large farms or small areas. So, cotton would become the better choice to plant in the plantation farms.  

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

larisa86 [58]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The main reason why the north was against slavery was due to the fact that is was unnecessary for the inhabitant of the north to have slaves. They mostly thrived in the industry and lumber while the south was more reliant on cash crops so slaves were necessary.

Although they did free the slaves the North only granted them a certain amount of freedoms.
