The Southern plantations were connected to the Northern mills because without the Southern plantations, the Northern Factories would have no crop to turn into products. For example, cotton would be picked by the slaves on the Southern plantations, and then be brought up to the Northern factories in order to mass produce such things like clothing. This occurred especially during the time of the Industrial Revolution when factories were becoming more abundant and the deskilling of laborers was rising. Resulting from the Industrial Revolution, many people and immigrants sought factory work, and this also increased the amount of slaves that were needed. Also, such things like the Lowell Mill came about, and the Interchangeable parts flourished.

Cotton after haveing the seeds removed and being bailed was sold to mills in both the Northern States and England. During the Civil War the south was able to raise some money in English selling bonds backed by the eventual delivery of the cotton.
Because it benefited the North, They feared that the blacks would take their jobs, and also worried that the end of slavery would cut off the supply of southern cotton for northern textile mills.
No, the resources of the South were only crops, no factories, no munitions, no mills. The South has plantations and some cattle, cotton and some timber, but nothing for help during time of war.
The Northern states, for the most part had outlawed slaves. Some states abolished slavery even before the US Constitution was ratified. There was a segment of people in the North that directly and indirectly benefited from the slavery in the South. Northern owned textile mills needed cheap cotton, and slaves working on Southern cotton plantations provided cheap labor and thus kept the cost of cotton lower than if free and paid farmhands worked in the cotton fields. Some Northern people, in fact many by today's standards were racists. If slavery was abolished then some former slaves might migrate to the North. Not only did racist people oppose that, but in certain labor unions they believed that any new free Black workers would drive down the pay rates of factory workers.

By 1860, cotton fueled the Southern economy and helped the Northern textile mills. Two thirds of the world's cotton was produced by the Southern plantations. The northern textile mills were effected by the disruption of the US Civil War in that by 1860, mills sold $100 million worth of cloth made from cotton.
Southern slaves produced the cotton, and workers at Northern mills (who were paid not much more than slaves) turned it into clothing, bedding, and other items. This was the main reason many Northerners were against abolition: the loss of slave labor would affect not just the South's plantation society, but the North's industrial economy as well.

Jose Marti encourages Cuban rebels to destroy sugar mills and plantations to provoke the United States.
As the farmlands in the Southern States prospered by growing cotton and tobacco, plantations expanded. There was a world market for these crops and the Northern States also bought cotton for their textile mills. To continue to grow, more slave labor was required. Thus, slave traders sought new slaves from Africa to meet this demand.
Oh, dude, Jose Marti was all about that Cuban independence vibe. So, like, he encouraged the rebels to target sugar mills and plantations because they were seen as symbols of Spanish colonial oppression. It was basically a strategic move to weaken the Spanish economy and push for Cuban freedom.
cause he's sucks.
Mills that process the sugar cane into raw sugar must be located near cane plantations since cut sugar cane is too bulky and heavy to ship
The only product found in both the northern and southern regions of the United States during the mid-19th century was cotton. It was a staple crop grown in the South due to its favorable climate and soil, while it was also processed and traded in the factories of the North. This led to the development of the Cotton Belt, stretching from the southern states to the northeastern textile mills.
