N the United States, why was the South slower to industrialize than the North? It had an agricultural economy that was dependent on enslaved persons.
It was still recovering from the Civil War.

It had an agricultural economy that was dependent on enslaved persons.

Explanation:

In the 1860, the North and the South had distinct economies. The North relied on machineries which increased their productivity while the South relied on enslaved persons to work on their plantations. The South's ability in manufacturing did not come close to that of the North; most of the case, they were just satisfied with an agricultural economy. On the contrary, the situation in the northern area increased its urbanization and population.
