Chapter 11 - North and South Take Different Paths (1800–1845)

Chapter Outline
Section 1: The Industrial Revolution
Section 2: The North Transformed
Section 3: The Plantation South
Section 4: The Challenges of Growth

Summary
The Industrial Revolution brought great changes to the way in which people lived and worked. Inventions that mechanized the textile industry made factory work the most efficient way to spin thread and weave cloth. In the United States, most textile factories opened in the North, while the South's economy relied on agriculture. The invention of the cotton gin increased the South's dependence on the labor of enslaved African Americans. At the same time, settlers were moving west. Debates raged in Congress over the spread of slavery to the western territories. These debates heightened tensions between the North and the South.
