In the early and mid-1800s, the North was industrialized, while the South was more agricultural.

The North was industrialized, while the South was more agricultural.

Explanation:

The South had several plantations and they heavily depended on slave labor. The North in contrast saw the rise of several industries during the 1800s. In search of opportunities people moved to the North and this led to urbanization.

The moves to abolish slavery affected the South badly and their economy started falling while the industrialized economy of the North kept growing. The differences in opinion of North and South on issues like slavery led to the civil war.
