North-Had the Industrial Revolution which meant they didn't really need slavery.

South- Used slaves for plantations and cotton was huge in the south.

The south surrendered because General Lee got cut off by Grant and Lee surrendered at the Appotomatix Courthouse. The south surrendered and the Union gave the Confederates food and told them to go home for their families.

Wilmer McLean had lived at Manassas where the Battle of Bull Run first took place so he decided to move for peace. He moved to the town of Appomattox Courthouse where General Lee and General Grant ended the war in his house.

The Arlington National Cemetary was General Robert E. Lee's property and Meague decided to bury many Union soldiers in his yard, because they fought against him.
