(DO NOT ANSWER IF YOU CANNOT ACTUALLY HELP) Anyone living in America during the 1800s could tell you that at that time, the nation was divided politically and ideologically. The division was between the North and the South, and while it was chiefly over the issue of slavery, it was also about power and economics.

The North wanted more free states (states where slavery had been abolished) so they could control more elections. The South wanted more slave states for the same reason. Furthermore, wage paying Northern businesses didn't like being forced to compete against slave labor in the South. Slavery supported not only the Southern economy, but Southern society as well.

There were only a few voices in America at the time that dared to make slavery a moral question. Among them were Harriet Beecher Stowe, William Lloyd Garrison and Frederick Douglass, who were all prominent abolitionists.

The division between the North and the South in the 1800s can best be described as…

A. moral
B. political and economic
C. superficial
D. geographic only
