Answer 2

Cotton and tobacco were the most important. Rice and indigo cultivation were important, along with sugar cane. Timbering and "naval stores" (rendering turpentine and pitch from the vast pine forests) were important in some areas. In general northern agriculture was a "wheat and beef" type and southern agriculture was a "corn and hogs" type. One of the great ironies of war was that a northerner, Eli Whitney, invented the cotton gin, making large scale cotton cultivation possible and breathing new life into the institution of slavery, and a southerner, Cyrus McCormick, invented the wheat thresher, which made harvesting large wheat crops possible without the use of hordes of laborers wielding scythes, and thus helped feed the Union armies which subjugated the south.
