Getting A Sense of the South

     To get a more complete understanding of the culture of the Antebellum South it is important to look at how the Southern economy developed during the 19th Century and how it developed differently from the North.  As the North became industrial economy that manufactured textiles and other goods, the South became more agricultural with an economy based on cash crops and raw materials.    As the nation began to grow and expand, the economy of the West became agricultural as well.

    While Western farmers supplied the corn, wheat, and grain crops that fed the expanding nation but did not rely on slave labor like farmers and planters of the South.
