EQ: How did states ’ rights have an impact on Georgia and the beginning of the Civil War?

In the early 1800s, North and South had distinct economies driven by environmental factors. The North, with rocky soil and a cold climate, turned to industry, utilizing the steam engine and factory system. Advantages like swift rivers and natural harbors propelled Northern industry. Conversely, the South's warmer climate and fertile soil led to an agrarian economy with cash crops like cotton, aided by the cotton gin and reliance on slavery. The North's industrialization spurred city growth and interdependence among citizens while the South's agrarian economy emphasized self-sufficiency. This economic divide contributed to sectional tensions seen in the Missouri Compromise, Compromise of 1850, state rights debates, popular sovereignty, and the 1860 election, all revolving around issues like tariffs, settling the West, and slavery.
