I apologize for any confusion. While having relatively few factories compared to the northeast could have been a factor in the economic disadvantage of the Southern states after the Reconstruction Era, it is not the only factor. Other factors such as the destruction caused by the Civil War, the loss of enslaved labor, and the lack of infrastructure and investment also contributed to their economic disadvantages.
