 * In 1820 the upper south controlled the economy. The major crop was tobacco in the south and it was mostly grown in states like virginia, Kentucky, Tennesee and north Carolina.Those areas were heavily populated with slaves.
 * In 1860 there was a very large demand for cotton. Cotton was not easily grown in upper south, therefore more slaves began to work in the lower south were competition between plantations called for many slaves to pick cotton all day. The best plantations had at least 50 slaves.
 * Plantations were far out from town. This plantation is right on the the Mississippi therefore it was easy to import/ export crops. However for plantations that were not on rivers, trading was diffucult
 * Many slaves began to form there own culture because they needed to somehow come together

=WAS THE CIVIL WAR WORTH IT=

The civil war was very much worth it. I dont think that it could have been avoided. There was so much bulid up with all the compromises and tensions over expansion. The different lifestyles as well contributed to the war. If the war is not fought, is America in 2 countries? The union needed to win this war to prove that central government was more authoritive than any southern state governments. As well it got slavey emancipated which was the biggest debate between north and southern people. Although there were many negative affects of the war, the nation was pieced back together as the United States of America. The reconstruction errror opened up more problems between the north and south and once it ended things went back to the way they were. __3 big things that came out of the civil war were the 13th 14th and 15th amendment__ which are very important and worth it.

Devon- it was worth it because there was going to be war either way. There was already contrivirsity. Therefore, it allowed America to get all the problems out.

Paul- it was worth is because the end justifies the means. It helped america become the power it is today because without the south we wouldnt be as strong.
