Slide 7 - Tekstslide
Industry in the North
Agriculture was difficult in the North
Textile factories were build to meet the demand of the grewing population
The most important raw material, cotton, was imported from the South
The cotton was made into clothes in the North
Southern products were sold through the Northern harbors
Slide 8 - Tekstslide
Agriculture in the South
The agrarian economy was
feudal
and
traditional
Some grain and wheat were cultivated, but the economic heavy weight rested with the wealthy landowners who grew
cotton
and tobacco with slaves.
Because of these low labor costs, there was
little need for factories
Slide 9 - Tekstslide
Slavery
After the
War of Independence
(1775β1783), slavery seemed to be doomed, also in the South.
The cultivation of tobacco and rice, for which slaves were used, was rarely profitable.
Some slaveholders were inspired by the principles of the Revolution and
let their slaves go
.
Slide 10 - Tekstslide
Cotton Gin
Before cotton can be used t
he
fibers
have to
separated
from the
seeds
It took a
single slave
about
ten hours
to separate
a single pound
of fiber from the seeds
Two or three slaves
using a
Cotton Gin
(Eli Whitney, 1793) could produce around
fifty pounds
of cotton in just
one day
Slide 11 - Tekstslide
How does the Cotton Gin work?
Cotton balls enter the gin

Slide 12 - Tekstslide
Effects
The invention of the Cotton Gin caused
massive growth
in the production of cotton in South:
from 3000 bales in 1790 to 400,
000 bales in 1820
Cotton became a
very profitable product
(again)
As a result,
more slaves were needed
to pick cotton
The number of slaves increased from
700,000
in 1790 to
3.2 million
in 1850
Slide 13 - Tekstslide
Revival of slavery
Already in 1800, most slaves were working in the cotton
A minority was domestic help or laborer on a sugar or reed plantation.
Until 1808, plantation owners
imported
many slaves from
Africa
This was
prohibited
after 1808, so plantation owners were '
breeding
' slaves or used
illegal trade routes
from Africa for new slaves
Slide 14 - Tekstslide
Treatment of slaves (I)
Slaves were
lawless
: slaves were treated as
possessions
, not as human beings
They were not allowed to travel without the permission of their master, d
id not marry before the law
.
Slide 15 - Tekstslide
Treatment of slaves (II)
The life of most slaves was working 'from sun to sun'.
If they did not do enough, they could be whipped to blood.
A normal
family life
was often
impossible
.
It was very normal that men, women and children were
separated
, because they were sold to
different slaveholders
.
Slide 16 - Tekstslide
Treatment of free blacks
Free blacks were also
discriminated
.
They were not allowed to own slaves in many federal states, carry weapons, attend education or testify against whites.
In the
North
, the legislation was more flexible, but they were also discriminated there.
Slide 17 - Tekstslide
Resistance?
Despite their terrible fate,
few slaves openly rebelled
.
The blacks were a minority, had no weapons and were difficult to organize because they lived isolated on the plantations.
Rebellious behavior was
punished
horribly.
Many slaves became
christians
: in the afterlife a better life was waiting for them
The revolt of Nat Turner was one of the few slave uprisings
Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Looking at Nat Turner's Legacy
Slide 19 - Tekstslide

Slide 21 - Tekstslide
Underground Railroad
A
secret network
of smuggling routes in the United States to
help escape slaves
from the South
Escaped slaves could leave the Southern States and seek refuge in

hiding addresses
, safe houses and other facilities
