Answer:

  • The North was the nation's main industrial area.

Step-by-step explanation:

The American economy was caught in transition on the eve of the Civil War. What had been an absolutely rural economy in 1800 was in the first phases of an industrial revolution which would result in the United States getting to be one of the world's leading industrial powers by 1900.

However, the beginnings of the industrial revolution in the prewar years was solely constrained to the locales north of the Mason-Dixon line, leaving a significant part of the South far behind.
