Chapter 11 APUSH Mrs. Price “Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.” – Abraham Lincoln

Southern Economy Shift to Cotton Most important economic development Short-staple cotton

Shift in Economic Power: Lower South Upper South: relied on tobacco (unstable market) Coastal South: relied on rice (irrigation, long growing season) Gulf Coast: sugar (heavy competition)

Southern Agriculture

Value of Cotton Exports As % of All US Exports

In 1820s: cotton production spread rapidly By 1850s: most important Southern crop Dominated deep south & prompted population migration

Other Economic Development Textile & Iron manufacturing - Insignificant compared to agriculture - Upper south Everything linked to plantation economy

Inadequate Transportation System Little investment in internal improvements Few canals, roads unsuitable Railroads expanded in 1840s-1850s; most lines short & local Principal means of transportation: water

Some warned of unequal relationship between North & South James B.D. DeBow

Why was the South so different? Profitability of agriculture Southerners had capital invested in land & slaves Other arguments (climate, work habits)

White Society in the South Planter Class Small Farmers The Poor

Planter Class Whites who owned slaves & 800+ acres Controlled political, economic, & social life

A Real Georgia Plantation

Small Farmers “Plain Folk” Owned few slaves; ¾ owned none Planted subsistence or small cash crops “Hill people”: backcountry, did not support secession

The Poor 500,000 in 1850 Lived on marginal lands Few owned lands

Free Blacks 1861: 250,000 in South Mostly in VA & MD Bought freedom or set free by masters 1833: laws changed & it became more difficult to set free slaves (after Turner Rebellion)

Slavery Isolated South from rest of American society Slave codes: regulated slavery (enforcement was spotty) - Could not teach them to read or write - Could not congregate after dark - Could not own a firearm
