"In the North, manufacturing and industry was well established, and agriculture was mostly limited to small-scale farms, while the South’s economy was based on a system of large-scale farming that depended on the labor of Black enslaved people to grow certain crops, especially cotton and tobacco."

Did the North have slave labor in industries????
Peculiar, the North destroyed the South's industry and freed the slaves and the Nation still grew.
So, just how did America grow on the backs of slavery?
