The North wanted the new states to be “free states.” Most northerners thought that slavery was wrong and many northern states had outlawed slavery. The South, however, wanted the new states to be “slave states.” Cotton, rice, and tobacco were very hard on the southern soil.

In the North, society was much more urban (cities) and industrial while the majority of people were employed. ... In the South, most people made a living through agriculture (farming) and lived further apart than people in the congested cities of the North.
