the northern economy was based on industry and the south was based on agriculture and so the north would buy raw cotton from the south and reprocess and sell it

Cotton was depended on by all of the United States in the 1800s. Ever since the famous cotton gin was invented, cotton sales were high because many people needed clothing and such back then.
