The upper South did not have to rely as heavily on slave labor because their farms were smaller. The lower South had huge cotton plantations.
North and South were heavily dependent on each other during the years before the Civil War. The South produced materials (especially tobacco and cotton) which were America's chief export goods. The southern states exported around 80% of the goods that brought cash into the American economy. However, there was a price for all that wealth. The southern states did not develop a strong manufacturing economy. Most manufactured goods were made in the northern states or in Britain or France. The southern states imported tools, supplies, implements, shoes, clothing. A more controversial portion of the picture is the money. Most southern plantations were heavily in debt. Despite exporting huge quantities of cash crops, plantations were not all that profitable. Slaves cost a great deal of money. Slaves had to be housed, fed, clothed, supervised, and guarded all year long even if the growing season was only 6 months. The south's cash crops also consumed the nutrients in the soil and before the mass production of chemical fertilizers this meant farming on ever larger pieces of land, and all that land cost money. Southern plantation owners borrowed heavily from northern banks in New York and Boston (and England, also). They lived a lavish lifestyle on borrowed money, and they depended on the north to supply it.
