[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another factor others aren't mentioning is that the reduced immigration to the South is very tied up to slavery. There was already a population of supressed people doing the worst manual labor jobs in the South vs. needing to import immigrants willing to work for low wages in the North. Many also believe that the delayed industrialization of the South was due in large part to the surplus of cheap labor created by slavery. There was less drive for industrialization because the was human labor inexpensive enough to be comparable to machines, and by the time the technology caught up to the slave work force the civil war had been lost and there was no money to invest in new technology, leaving the South in the dust as the northern factories thrived.[/quote] I never heard it explained this way. It makes sense. thanks.[/quote]
