Question

Describe the economic differences between the North and the South in the 1850s. 
 4. What were the major terms of the Compromise of 1850?

Answer 1

Answer is stated below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The North has an industrial economy while the South was dependent on agriculture mainly on the cotton trade. The scene of the North included factories and railroads, on the other hand, the South has large and small agricultural land which was exploited by slave labor.

The compromise of 1850 was the compromise on the question of slavery to be extended to the newly acquired territories during the Mexican-American War (1846 to 1848). It was an effort to take a middle-ground of the abolitionist North and pro-slavery South but it left many questions unanswered which resulted in Civil War.
