ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL DIFFERENCES NORTH SOUTH Agricultural (agrarian) economy Mostly farmers(rural) Depended on themselves for their food, clothing, and shelter (farming, hunting, and fishing) People did not expect as many services from the government • Industry based • Growth of cities • Depended on one another for food, clothing , and shelter ??????? • People expected more services from the government like fire and police protection

  6. Political Issues Split the North and South • TARIFFS (186) • STATES RIGHTS (187) • SECESSION (188) • DEVELOPMENT OF THE WEST (188) • WESTWARD EXPANSION (192)

  7. The Issue of TariffsWhat is a tariff? NORTH SOUTH Against protective tariff because South did not have many industries and they depended greatly on imported goods from countries like Britain • They were for a protective tariff b/c they wanted the South to buy from them! What is a tariff? Name 1 item that the North put a tariff on.

  8. STATES’ RIGHTS NORTH SOUTH Supported states’ rights For Nullification: South argued states should not have to follow a U.S. law if it was not in the best interest of their state-they could declare the law NULL and VOID • Less support for states’ rights • Opposed nullification and argued that states did NOT have the power to decide whether or not they would enforce a U.S. law

  9. Seccession North South Southerners argued that a state COULD voluntarily leave, or secede if it needed to protect its rights • Northerners argued that secession was ILLEGAL

  10. Development of the West North South U.S. should sell land cheaply so it could quickly be used for agriculture which would include slaves • U.S. should sell land to bring in revenue $$$$ to the U.S. government • Afraid if land was too cheap, Northern factory owners would lose workers

  11. Westward Expansion of Slavery North South For slavery; plantation system based on slave labor Slavery should be allowed in new western territories being added to the U.S. • Against slavery because it was industry based and didn’t depend on slaves as much as the South • Slavery should not be allowed in the new western areas being added to the U.S.
