Pro Slavery Argument (north)

It seems as if the North pre-civil war was an extremely busy yet content place to live. The Northern states were going through very large changes from the Industrial Revolution. Through the 1800 to the 1830's and 40's the North had been modernizing, industrializing, and specializing throughout the market revolution. With the Industrial Revolution occurring in made the North a much more competitive place and a free economy. The free economy that the North chose to have aloud them to make their own choices, which is great, but also made it more difficult to get jobs. Not everyone in the economy had a job there was now competition. This gave equal opportunity to everyone for a job, but made it much more difficult to get one while they have more freedom it was more difficult to get a job.

The North and the South disagreed mainly on the ways they ran their own government. The North believed in the free market and economy and equal opportunity for everyone. Also, they supported change, while the South did not. The South did not believe in the change that was going on above them in the North and it scared them because the North was their main source of income. The North's talk about not having slavery was crazy talk to the Southerners.
