The Southern economy was very dependent on slaves. Slaves did work for free, but ended up giving the Southerners a lot of money. The North didn't have the need for slaves as they didn't have as many plantations or land good for farming. Instead Northerners had industries that grew quicker than the South's crops. The South was forced to buy their manufactured goods from the Northern and sell their crops to the North for low prices. Many Southerners despised the uneven difference of the farming, which only helped increase tensions when the Civil War started up.
