don't hold me to it if it's wrong, it seems like the logical answer here.
Increased wealth of the eighteenth century colonial elite
The south generally didn't make as much supplies and arms as the north because the north had the industrial revolution which allowed things to be made faster and cheaper instead of having to have each handmade by a gunsmith. Also, the south around that time were busy growing and selling cotton on large plantations.
Because the slavery there provided them huge profits
I think it is Cotton ,but i might be wrong so please don't get mad!!! I think it is Cotton ,but i might be wrong so please don't get mad!!! tobacco was the south's first successful cash crop yall sum idiots
The cotton gin did not cause the Civil War. The civil war was about slavery. The south wanted slavery and power. They got tired of the North's rules and so they rebelled, causing the Civil War. <><><> Agree with above. The Cotton Gin DID make it feasible to grow cotton on a large scale in the South, and THAT required cheap labor to tend and harvest the crop- tending to make slavery economically attractive.
