Answer:

"plantation-based and agricultural,"

Step-by-step explanation:

The South's economy in the 1850's is best described as "plantation-based and agricultural," since the South's environment was much more conducive to farming than that of the North, and they depended heavily on slave labor up until the Civil War.
