We pay taxes to fund a variety of federal, states, and local services. Half of Americans taxes burden is for federal programs. Most of this pays for social security, Medicare, and defense states and local taxes pay for Medicaid, infrastructure, and libraries.

Due to the rise of industrialism, the north was mostly comprised by factories. In addition, white men in the north were literate at a higher rate than men in the South. Men in the north tended to be businessmen, scientists, etc (i.e. professionals as opposed to plantation owners/farmers like in the south). The south had a higher rate of illiteracy than the north, and was deeply influenced by an economy that depended on slavery and agriculture to thrive.
