The North And The South (1854) - Henry Charles Carey - Bog

The North And The South is a book written by Henry Charles Carey and first published in 1854. The book is a detailed analysis of the economic and social differences between the northern and southern regions of the United States during the mid-19th century, with a particular focus on the impact of these differences on the country's political and cultural landscape.Carey argues that the North and South were fundamentally different in terms of their economic systems, with the North being characterized by industrialization, urbanization, and a focus on wage labor, while the South was dominated by agriculture, slavery, and a reliance on cash crops like cotton and tobacco. These economic differences, Carey suggests, led to stark cultural and political divisions between the two regions, with the North becoming increasingly progressive and abolitionist while the South remained entrenched in its support for slavery and states' rights.Throughout the book, Carey explores the historical roots of these differences, tracing the development of the North and South from colonial times to the mid-19th century. He also provides a detailed analysis of the political debates and conflicts that arose between the two regions during this period, including the Missouri Compromise, the Nullification Crisis, and the events leading up to the Civil War.Overall, The North And The South is a comprehensive and insightful analysis of one of the most important periods in American history, providing readers with a deep understanding of the economic, social, and political factors that shaped the country during this time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
