North?

closer to Africa.

plantation owners relied slaves to plant and
harvest cash crops.

needed help from slaves to keep up with the

Answer:

The North didn't and were more against slavery than the South. The North worked in mills, factories, they owned and operated. The South grew cotton and tobacco. They needed people who would work in the fields for little or no money at all.
