In the early and mid 1800s how did the economies of the northern and southern states compare

I always like to quote Rhett Butler (main character of Gone With the Wind). The valiant men were talking how glorious it would be to fight in the civil war. They asked him what he thought.

He answer, "The South will Loose." The other men there were horrified. Ashley, who had more sense than the rest, said "Why, sir, is that?"

Rhett said. "The south doesn't produce 1 cannon. It doesn't make one gun." He was saying the south was not prepared (industrialized enough) to fight a war. He could have also said that the transportation system did not serve the south well: all the north had to do was blockade the ports which they proceeded to do. That meant the south couldn't get it's cotton out to be sold to the Europeans.

The south was primarily an agricultural economy, which served them well in the beginning of the war. They had a vastly superior cavalry with exceptional generals. But Rhett's observation came to haunt them. They north could replace the number of men lost in battle. They could manufacture ships and cannons and guns. They could overcome the minus's by depending on a president who was patient and had a goal that he never deviated from.

Though the generals like McClelland sometimes frustrated him,he was patient and waited for people like Grant and Sherman came along who were ruthless leaders, but they were winners.

well that depends on how deep the hole is. you'd first go through te crust of the earth, then the upper mantle, then the lower mantle then the outer core, then the inner cor then you'd be stuck in the core to melt.

the government paid religious orders to provide basic education to native american children on reservations. in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the bureau of indian affairs (bia) founded additional boarding schools based on the assimilation model of the off-reservation carlisle indian industrial school.
