What Was Life Like

Looking at this data, what kind of conclusion Could you make about life in the Mid 1800’s?

Very Urban – over half people lived in cities! Industrialized = Manufacturing, Factory Jobs! Roads, Canals, Rail Lines, Rivers.

Zane Education “The North Before the War” Farming is still very important…. City Life = Jobs, but problems with Crime, Sanitation (human waste and animal waste), Pollution, Disease. But Education was available (mostly boys) and most African Americans were free. Most Northern Factory / City Dwellers had a shorter life expectancy than a slave in the South….

Farming is main occupation. Eli Whitney’s Cotton Gin will cause Cotton Boom Society split between: Elite Planters, yeoman farmers, Dirty poor whites, and Enslaved Africans.

Little industry, few roads, and even fewer rail lines. VERY Rural! 98 Atlanta is largest city. Zane Education “The South Before the War”

 By 1850, 3.6 million African American = 37% of Population African – Americans 93 % Population is Enslaved / 7 % that’s free lives northward. Poor White Farmers - Hunt & live off land Yeoman Farmers - Own 4 or less slaves, - Modest living, majority Of population, work Land themselves. Planters  Controlled local gov’t, the economy, & social life of the community….  Owned 20 or more slaves

Effects: - Creation of the ‘cotton belt’ – State economies based on cotton production. - Huge rise in cotton production. - Westward spread of farming in the South. - Expansion of the slavery system (will new territories allow it?? ) - Slower urban grown in the South than in the North (Charleston, Atlanta, New Orleans). - Northern state pass Emancipation Laws (set the slaves free) - Supporters of Slavery said it was a “necessary evil” → Although morally wrong, it was economically necessary! The Cotton Boom from 1790’s to 1860’s Causes: - Invention of the cotton gin by Eli Whiney - Available slave labor

North + East = Industrial South = Cotton West = Nations “Bread Basket” Different Regions Linked by Railroads, Canals, and Roads… Despite differences, each region needed the others…..
