In what important ways is the American South Different to the North? Es

The Ameri empennage south-central represents the more agricultural sector of the United States it was and in just about places is still quite far behind the Northern sectors of America. Northerners tended to be better educated than their southern partners. The North also had a much larger universe than the South with a 21.5 million population, whilst the south had a population of 9 million. The fundamental differences between the two can be classified through religion, the hard worker movement as well as the agricultural and industrial differences between the north and south of North America.Religion played a major utilisation in the divulge between the north and south. The original migrants were purely Englishmen abroad, moving abroad to follow their own religion without the authoritarian Church of England. A split between the two appears to be evident in the naming of the sound outs all southern states were named aft(prenominal) English monarchs, whilst in the North none a re named after English monarchs, this is due to the mainly dissenting population of the north, who wanted nothing to do with England. This is due to the domination the Church of England had over the south, whilst the Northerners pursued newer approaches such as Protestantism, Baptist and Methodist movements. The Baptist and Methodist movements seemed to reflect the newer mood and plans of the nation, and it is this that attracted the new followers particularly in the North. The United States still has the highest population of church attendees, more so in the South, this is partly why those who travelled around the country attempting to convert found most of their support in the south. The religious difference between the North and South was the start of the split.The first fundamental difference between the North and South was the slave trade, and subsequent racist hatred. All southern states with the exception of Texas had a slave population of between 25-30% of the entire populat ion. Southerners saw slavery as a constructive measure, whilst northerners began to see slavery as immoral. The legalisation of slavery varied from state to state, and there was no overall law on slavery during most of the eighteenth century. The use of African slaves in tobacco fields proved fortunate and more slaves were gradually imported, the practice was by ... ...uch as bankers and lawyers. This helps to further illustrate the differing outlooks that the progressive North and the repressive South possessed.The American South took on umpteen meanings during this period the South was seen as economically backwards, and socially and morally corrupt through the slave owners and the agricultural movement that was followed. Fundamentally the Southerners followed a less resistant belief system than the Northerners, and also followed many traditions, religious and otherwise that the Northerners had wanted to leave behind in Britain. However it is unfair to portray the South as a co mpletely backward movement, as the southerners did in fact have some progressive ideals and also succeeded agriculturally, but the two differed, and the Civil War can be accredited to the confrontational stance taken by both the North and the South during this time period.BibliographyAndrew Sinclair, A Concise History of the United States, Sutton create Limited 1999Maldwyn A.
