sabrina+max South & Social: How can you socially sort people?

INVENTORS: Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin in 1793. This is a machine that removes seeds from short staple cotton.

PLANTERS: Planters were the wealthiest people of Southern society. They built Cotton Gins that could process tons of cotton faster than hand processing. The main structure is a Plantation House, Slave Cabbins, and a Cotton Gining Shed. When planters children get married, the parents arrange them by business interests. Males that were concerned with raising crop and supervising slave laborers. They left the plantation house hold to their wives.

SLAVES: Slaves were African American. Most of them lived in Rural Areas and worked on farms and plan examtations. On large plantations most slaves were assigned specific jobs. Some examples are picking cotton in fields and take the seeds out of the cotton. They were looked at as property not people and were sold at auctions. Sick and bad weather didnt even stop them from working. They served the planters 24 hours a day and the nurses took care of slaves kids. There daily schedual:

3am: Wake up and tend animals! 6am: Say your prayers! 7am: Work. 12pm: Time for lunch! 1pm: Work. 7pm: Eat dinner. 8pm: Back to work. 11pm: LIGHTS OUT, GOODNIGHT.

South & Economic: What facts can you gather from cotton farming? How does it impact the economy?

Cotton Farming started from when Whitney invented the Cotton Gin. This became so profitable that Southern Farmers abandoned other crops, One Crop Country. This was in favor of growing cotton. The Removal of Native Americans opened up MORE land for the farmers and then the Cotton Belt took place. Cotton Trade started. Great Britian was the main country that South traded with. Hammond said, "Without cotton, the worlds economy would fail." This really began Cotton Farming. This farming made planters pretty wealthy. Sizable plantations had many big Cotton Gins, fields, and building. A con of farming is that it made some leaders worried that South depended on too much cotton! Cotton was shipped by farmers using rivers. There was Flat & Steam boats delivering cotton from Cotton Farms to other places on the Mississippi.

South and Politcal Explain laws of the South. Rate and Judge them.

Slaves were bought and had to do as instructed. If the owner had the money, then he could as many as he wanted. If any white decided they wanted to hurt or kill a slave, they were able to. Nobody would care. African Americans HAD to work no matter what. It was a law that cotton cost less to transport long distances because it was lighter then staple crops. Cotton was very needed because it was the most valuable resource in the world.

North and Socail: How would you classify people from the North?

The poeple in the north at this time had a lot of problems. You had kids at the age of 13 or 14 stopping with there schooling to help out with the money flow in their houses. They also didn't have many people not working. You had young kids work in the factoires, the man of the house would have the higher paying job to susport their family, you had some women working 12 hour shifts and then just living at the factiores and just sending money to there family. They were focus on inmproving their technology instead of farming like the south. Most of the jobs in north came from the factories. This gave us a lot of jobs for people back then. Unlike today there are many uneployed people. There transportation were verey much more inproved instead of the south. They were coming out with cars and more railroads. The people were a little more advance then the poeple from the south because we had different foucuses in the north. We belive in inproving out technonlgy and trade with other.

North and Economic: Pros and Cons of the Industrail Revolution?

The pros of the Industrail Revoultion is a new age of technology. They made work faster and easier. The technology inprovement help the new technology that we are getting today. We could produce a lot of goods that we could trade with the other countries to help our economy. This was the kick off to a new ways to do things. It made travle faster and and safe. The cons of this back then is that you wouldn't get paid that much when you work for many hours. There were many younger teenagers working in the factories to help get money to susporrt there famsily back then. They would work harsh shifts that would sometimes last for 12 hours at a time. These jobs that people would do are extremly dangerous for everyone. The room they would work would be very hot and not very pleseant to work in. This kick off the new age of technology for the US.

North & Political: Compare the North back then and today: Back then every body had a job. Now some people are without jobs. The businesses were dangerous. No matter what age or gender you were, you had to work. They had steam boats and steam trains insted of cars. More modern technology is used today. Today more routes are opended up for transportation. Trade was important back then and today. We just trade with different people. The government cared for the people in the North and they did not believe in slaves.
