Low land prices - The North

The North had lower land prices than the south because the distribution of the land was more egalitarian, which meant that almost anyone who wanted to be a farmer could own a plot of land.

High land prices - The South

The South had higher land prices because a few landowners owned vast amounts of lands in the form of large plantations, which reduced the supply of land for poorer farmers.

Favored slavery - The South

The southern economy was largely based on enslaved labor in the large planations of sugar, rice, cotton, and tobacco.

Favored non-slave labor - The North

The northern economy was more industrial, and employed free urban workers. The farmers were also freemen. Most northern states had abolished slavery decades before the start of the civil war.

High tariffs on imported goods - The North

The northern states favored high tariffs because they were industrial, and wanted to prevent competition from abroad, and protect the local industries.

Low tariffs on imported goods - The South

The southern states were in favor of low tariffs for two reasons: to import machinery needed in the plantations thaty they could not produce, and to promote free trade in general since the south was an export-driven economy.

Favored construction of  transportation systems - The North

The North favored the construction of railroads in order to improve the transport of agricultural and industrial goods.

Resisted the construction of transportation systems - The South
