how were the lives of white people in the north and south alike and different?

There were different in many ways.

The North was generally more industrial. Factories and businesses were common, and industry thrived because of the abundant natural resources. Farming was done on a small scale in private farms. Slavery had disappeared, and a large percentage of the workforce consisted on European immigrants.

The South, instead, relied largely on plantations of crops such as cotton and tobacco. The success of these plantations was inextricably linked to slavery. There were less urban centers, and travelling between different areas was more difficult.

the answer is c sharecroppers were trapped in a cycle of poverty and debt.

explanation:

one of the major disadvantages of sharecropping system is that the sharecroppers or the planters are stucked in an unhealthy cycle of debts. this happens because planters will be allowed to loan merchandise from the land-owner and will soon be paid by the farmer in his share in the farm come harvest time. hope this !
