One American s Story Alex noted there were big cultural differences between North & South. People motivated to work hard in North but not in South. 32. North and South Follow Different Paths North was small farms, industry (factories) and commerce (trade). South was large plantation farming using slave labor. 33. Industry and Immigration in the North Immigrants go to North for jobs. Transportation (canals & railroads) move westward. Against slavery because immoral and threat to JOBS! 34. Agriculture and Slavery in the South Slavery good: offers food, clothing, shelter & Christianity. Rich owners run South. Poor whites okay with slavery because of social superiority & racism. 35.

4 SQ3R Chapter 15 The Nation Breaking Apart, Section 1 Tensions Rise Between North and South p RETELL/ RECITE Answer the ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS! 45. How were the North and South different? North: Factories; no slavery because it is immoral & threatens jobs; lots of immigrants; commerce (trade merchants); small farms; expand westward by building transportation (railroads & canals) South: slave labor; believe slavery is GOOD for the slaves; large-scale plantations/estates; few immigrants; rely heavily on existing rivers for transportation, do not build many railroads 46. Why was Westward expansion such a problem for Congress? New territory throws off the balance of power in Congress. If all slave areas, then South will have more power and can legalize slavery EVERYWHERE. If land doesn t allow slavery, then the North will have more power and can outlaw ALL slavery in US. 47. What were some of the solutions Congress tried to create to the Westward expansion problem? Wilmot Proviso: no slavery allowed in new land didn t pass Free-Soil Party: political group that tries to stop expansion of slavery Compromise of 1850: California is free state; abolishes slavery in DC; Fugitive Slave Act (FSA); new land open to slavery passes Popular sovereignty (KS-NE Act) allows people in an area to decide if they want slavery passes Republican Party: political group that wants to outlaw ALL slavery 48.
