__**The North-**__
Pros- the north had lots of new advances in transportation, now there were options like trains instead of just horses Now they had things like mills and factories to help get more work done (but it was very hard) The north was really very ahead with technology, they were the people who started all of the inventng The north had more educated people, thats part of the reason they were ahead in technology Cons- they had to work in factories and mill, which were very dangerous and hard Children were the ones working at the mills, they didn't get to stay at home and help around the house They didn't have a lot of slaves, so the work actually had to be done by them The working hours were terrible, they had to work for at least 12-14 hours per day, that's at least half of the whole day Transportation Revolution- a period of rapid growth in the speed and convenience of travel because of new methods of transportation. Order in which inventions helped create the Revolution- 1803- first full size steam boat 1830- first locomotive/horsedrawn railcar After 1830- trains/ railroads; used more natural resources such as wood and coal After these thing were invented, police officers started keeping a better eye on people to keep them safe (Traffic police officers were born). Overall, there was not many official/important laws that went with the new types of transportation, police officers just started to watch what was going on a little more.

__Morse Code__: It was different combinations of dots and dashes that represent the letters of the alphabet. This is kind of like texting, only with dots and dashes instead of letters. For a 4,3,2,1, I'd give it a 3 because it was a great machine back then, but I think it would be very confusing and could easily be misunderstood. __Steel Plows:__ Instead of using iron plows for difficult soil, John Deere thought steel plows would work better. He was right, because he sold about 1,000 steel plows every year. I'd give it a 4 because it worked amazingly well, sold way more than iron plows, and you still see his name in plows, tractors, ect. today. __Telegraph:__ Created by Samaul F. B. Morse, the telegraph was a device that sent information from place to place in the form of Morse Code through wires. The telegraph sent pulses of electric current through the lines and there was a telegraph key that controlled the length of each pulse. I would rate this invention a 3 because it was nice at the time, but those who did not know how to speak morse code it might be difficult to use. __Mechanical Reaper:__ In 1837 Cyrus McCormick created the mechanical reaper, a machine for harvesting.

=__**The South-**__= __Cotton__: 1793 the cotton gin invented (a machine that quickly removes seeds from short-stapled cotton). The need for cotton had already arose, because all textile factories needed it to make their products, and it wasn't coming in fast enough. So when the cotton gin was made, it soon became a cash crop. There soon became the cotton belt, an area of high cotton production. The US was producing more than half the cotton for the world, and it attracted new sttlers. That's why cotton was such a huge crop back then. __Corn:__ Corn became a cash crop in the 1830s because the US government didn't want to rely on just cotton. It was also the primary southern food crop. The top three corn growing states in the nation were all in the south. __Rice, Sweet Potatoes, Wheat, Sugarcane__: These foods were also major food crops in the south. __Tobacco:__ Tobacco was the South's first major cash crop, but it was very time consuming. Then in 1839 a slave figured out how to speed up the drying process by using heat from burning charcoal. This discovery helped to increase tobacco production.

We would have invented a sort irrigation system that would make watering the plants easier. It would be connected to a fence that had water pumps on top of it that waould spray water out and over all of the plants. It would kind of be like sprinklers, but more of something they would have been able to invent back then. We also would have invented wagons that were able to be pulled by humans, this way they could save their horses energy, and not have to worry about carrying everything. In other words, it would almost be like a backwords wagon, only bigger with more space to put your crops and tools.

Way back when Christopher Colombus founded America even he had slaves that he brought with him. So, the issue of slavery wasn't just noticed during the Civil War, it just became a more popular topic during the time. When our Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution slavery was never mentioned, because it was it was the state's decsion whether they wanted to be a slave state or not. Right at the beginning almost every state had at least some slaves, but over time most of the north started outlaw the right to have slaves. If they had made slavery against the law from the beginning, there have may have been a war over it sooner than it did happen, and the South would have most likely have won, because even approved of slaves. That might have slowed down our process of becomeing a strong nation, or maybe even hav stopped it. We may have become two different countires.
