Natalie, Kaitlyn, Taylor THE NORTH

1. The people in the North were mainly farmers or industy workers; hard working people with visions of expanding their businesses and increasing speed with production. The Industrial Revolution helped industry owners with being faster and more efficient when it comes to making products, but the farmers/people who made items and sold them by hand didn't like this. It made them loose money, big time. The Transportation Revolution however, helped everyone. They were able to get their products farther and faster without having to spend too much money.

2. We think when industries started booming the government started taking in concideration of the worker's rights, after getting over the money the industries helped make the country. This affected the economy because the country was now selling/trading within its borders, which in this process saved a lot of money. Therefore the country became more wealthy.

3. If the North had __never__ had the Industrial OR Transportation Revolution then the U.S. would've continued to use more money trading with other countries. The United States was also becoming more reliable on other country's goods than their own, which would potentially really hurt the economy. If those Revolutions had never happened, most people would be farmers and the U.S. would be in __A__ __LOT__ more debt than it is now. There would also be no cars, trains, planes, or ships, which would mean that you would have to only ride on horseback or in wagons, which would be more expensive and time-consuming.

THE SOUTH

1. If more slaves were freed, there would be less workers on the plantation, while more slaves were brought in from other countries. Some already freed slaves would be kidnapped and taken back to be auctioned, again. The freed slaves, or runaway slaves would be overjoyed to be free from their slave owners, and would most likely flee to the North for protection from other owners. However, the slave owners would be very upset at their slaves for being able to be freed, and would attempt to kidnap them and return them to the fields. The African-Americans that were still slaves would probably be jealous and sad that they weren't free. This could cause uprisings, along with rebellions. If the rebellions were to succeed, then maybe we would've never hads a Civil War. If the Civil War had never taken place, things would probably be a lot different than they are now.

2. Well, the whites were treated like kings compared to the freed balcks, and the slaves. Whites were also able to work in what ever field they wanted to. For instance, blacks could only be barbers in a certain area while whites could be a lawyer, which has a better salary and better working conditions. White people had MUCH better rights than blacks. Whites could vote, while blacks could not. Whites could also travel freely, or live wherever they wanted to,while blacks couldn't. Sometimes they weren't even allowed to condct business! This affected how the government ran because the people who held the authority to change, or make, laws, were very racist. They made laws banning certain things from the blacks, that were supposed to be EVERY U.S. citizens' rights. This act made the South a very segregated place, discriminating blacks. This caused the whites to feel superior aginst the blacks.

3. Tho Cotton Boom was both an excellent and appalling thing. For instance, it was a good for the economy that the US was now able to produce cotton so fast. The South became Great Britain's biggest foreign supplier of cotton! The Cotton Boom also made the US a wealthier country. The South helped the US depend more on it than other foreign suppliers. There were, however, cons that went with the pros of this historic event. Although the cotton boom helped our economy, it destroyed the South's soil. It also put in jeopardy it's whole agricultural community, because now the Sounth relied on only ONE crop to make the economy stbale, which proved to be fatal in the end. Another con is the number of slaves increased durastically after the cotton boom, because of how tedious the work was.
