Answer:
Characteristics of the south were: economy was based on plantation agriculture, top positions in society were usually dependent on owning land and slaves
, society centered around farm life, and grew cotton as a cash crop.
Characteristics of the north were: built and extensive railroad system, economy was based on manufacturing and trade, and society centered around city life.
Explanation:
The extensive railroad system was initially built in the north, and this was so that it can support economic growth and easier traveling.
The economy in the north was based on manufacturing, and unlike the south that was producing raw materials, the north was becoming an industrial center.
The economy in the south was based on plantation agriculture, revolving around several cash crops for producing raw materials.
The top positions in the south were dependent on the amount of land someone had, as well as the number of slaves someone owned, so the people that had the two most important things for large scale production were on the top of the society.
Life in the south centered around farm life, with the majority of the places having relatively small populations, and the urbanization was lacking, and the effects of this can be seen even nowadays.
Life in the north centered around cities, with large-scale urbanization taking place, and a high concentration of population in a relatively small area, and this was largely due to the industrialization.
The south's economy was dependent on cash crops, with the primary one being cotton, and some of the other's included indigo and tobbaco.
