Answer:

The South produced cotton and the North used it to manufacture textiles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The South counted on the manufacturing revenues of the North for farm subsidies.

The North depended on taxes from the South to finance their new factories.

Each region was economically independent of the other.

The South produced cotton and the North used it to manufacture textiles.

The balance of trade between the North and the South remained in the South's favor from 1924, except between 1944 and 1946, when Southern exports fried up during the seacond World War. While trade relations between North and South remained poor in the postwar years, economic contact in other areas develop.
