Answer: industry and wage labor.

Explanation: The North and South had drastically different economies prior to the Civil War. The South depended heavily on agriculture and slave labor, while the North was becoming more and more industrialized using wage labor. This only led to the growing sectionalism in the United States in the early to mid-1800s
