Answer 2

Industry became increasingly important to the economy of the North, while the South relied on agriculture.

Step-by-step explanation:

the south relied on agriculture, which depended heavily on slaves, which is one of the reasons they were really against slavery being illegal.

the north on the other hand wanted to abolish slavery, which would be easier on them as they relied more heavily now on machines and workers. the north used to rely on slavery more, but slowly was drifting away from it, prominently during the 1850s
