Topic 4.3
How did differing economic systems contribute to rising tensions between Northern and Southern states prior to the Civil War?

Both regions had parallel economic systems which reduced tensions.
Various taxation policies did not lead to any major disagreements or conflicts within these regions.
The South's rapid industrial growth caused tension with the slower-growing North.
