Best Answer

economic conditions and interests in each region varied

Going back as far as the colonial era the northern and southern regions of America had differed greatly economically. The northern states were based mostly in manufacturing, trade and some agricultural production, while the southern states were vastly agricultural. These early differences also help account for the rapid growth of slavery (in agriculture) in the south and its low incidence in the northern regions. These sectional and economic differences continued to divide the nation and helped contribute to the eruption of the Civil War in 1861.

Why did the north have more large cities than the south?

Because most of the industries were established in the North, whose economy was largely based upon the production and trade of industrial products, while the economy of the South was mostly based upon monoculture and crops developed by slaves' labour. Therefore the North needed a massive employment of more and more specialized manpower, which had to live in the vicinity of the factories, thus growing the size of the cities. The South needed instead more and more land to exploit its agricultural production.

What are the differences between women working out and men working out?

Generally, men and women have the same muscles, so the same exercises are appropriate. The differences are largely hormonal and skeletal. Because of hormonal differences, women will not develop large muscles like men. Because of skeletal differences, especially wider hips, women should be more cautious doing leg work. For example, instead of doing angled leg presses with two legs simultaneously, it is safer for women to do angled leg presses one leg at a time. .
