Impact on the South
Impact on the South
In the North they relied heavily on agriculture and enslaved labor. In the 1800's alone there were around 6.5 million enslaved people in America. The North used enslaved to help with the agriculture boom by planting cotton and using the cotton gin. The cotton gin was an invention to separate the cotton from the cotton seeds. Also, the railroads helped transport the cotton and other goods to New England.

Impact on the North
Between the cotton gin in the south and the canals in North. North experienced a boom in goods, jobs, and factories. Plantation owners used slaves to pick and use the cotton gin to separate the cotton from the seeds, then they used clipper ships to ship cotton through canals into the North where the cotton was made into textiles. Just the cotton made many jobs for the nation.

What is technology and was it really necessary in the 1800's?
What is technology and was it really necessary in the 1800's?
The definition of technology is something man-made that improves the lives of others and yourself. Technology was necessary in the 1800s because there was a high demand to meet. One example is cotton: it was harvested using the steel-tipped plow, and the cotton gin made it possible to separate about 50 pounds of cotton from the seeds. They also used clipper ships and canals to transport the cotton to the North, where it was turned into textiles. Inventions were also made to help with communication and transportation. Morse code, which was used in the development of the telegraph, eventually led to the invention of the telephone. The railroad, clipper ships, and steamboats were new and faster ways of travel. The railroad was a major development in land transportation, while steamboats and clipper ships were used in canals to transport goods and people from place to place.
