Explain the Connection:

Why do you think the factor you named in your last answer caused such a big difference between the economies of the North and South?

Answer in 50 words or less. Start your response with "I think," and respond as if you were explaining this to an elementary school student.

(A good answer will be clear and logical, and it will further discuss the same idea you wrote about in the previous question.)

I think the factor I named before, which is slavery, caused a big difference between the economies of the North and South because it affected how people worked and made money. In the South, people relied on enslaved Africans to work on their big farms, called plantations, which made them a lot of money from crops like cotton. But in the North, there wasn't as much slavery, so people had to find different ways to make money, like working in factories and trading goods.

I think the factor I named, slavery, had a big effect on the economies of the North and South. In the South, they had lots of enslaved people working on big farms, and this made them rich from crops like cotton. But in the North, they didn't have as much slavery, so people made money in different ways, like working in factories and trading goods.

I think slavery caused a big difference between the economies of the North and South. In the South, they had enslaved people working on farms, making them rich from crops like cotton. But in the North, they made money in other ways, like working in factories and trading goods.
