By 1860, the North and the South had developed into two different regions; the North was an industrial society while the South was an agrarian society dependent on "King Cotton" and slave labor. The Northern industrial economy was comprised of a mutual relationship of wheat and the expansion of railroads -the marriage of iron and rye. German, Irish, and British immigrants created not only a diverse community, but help build Northern railroads and settled in the West. The South, in contrast to the North, resisted industrialization and manufactured little, requiring the importation of all manufactured goods. James Ham
