In 1860, there were actually more farms in the North than in the South. Northern farms were typically smaller and produced crops like wheat. But agriculture was still the backbone of the South's economy. In the South, farms were much larger -- many had more then 1,000 acres. (1 acre is about 1 football field) These huge plantations grow cash crops like tobacco, rice, and sugar. The most important crop of all was cotton. All the crops grown in the South relied on a large slave workforce. In addition the South had to pay taxes on many of the crops they exported. Many in the South felt they were taxed unfairly compared to the North.. and I agree with this fact...
