Consider this- the North had the factories and the ability to ship goods produced by those factories for export, the South had plantations with a lot fewer ways of shipping the goods (cotton, etc.) to the factories where the cotton, etc. was made into other things(virtually no way to export goods).

It's a really important crop for a particular area.  It makes more sense in context, like in colonial days tobacco was a staple crop for chesapeake farmers because it grew well and made a big profit.  It's a staple crop because they were dependant on it as the only thing (instead of growing a little bit of everything).

I'm guessing that by being Southerners, they worked out in the fields alot since the South was built on agriculture. And when you're out working the fields, bent over most of the time picking something, with the sun beating down on you, your neck gets sunburned or "red"

the economic status of the south allowed for industrial speculators to move in and increase the size of industrial manufacturies. Labor was cheap, people needed to eat. Slavery being abolished also meant that the labor force was decreased (whites now had to work for themselves).\n\nThe market went from agraian (many people producing much food) to industrial (few people roducing most of the nations food.) This meant jobs went from agriculture to industry.

The Mason Dixon line is up by Baltimore.  People in the deep south (mississippi, New Orleans, Alabama, etc) do not consider us Southerners and I live in Southern Maryland.  I consider where I live to be the south because of some of the trees we can grow here.

The biggest thing is rice.  They are one of the largest producers in the world.  They grow pineapples, apples, oranges.  They also grow things that we don't have in the US like Som-O, Nga, Mango, Malagore (dragon fruit).  They have these huge things the size of footballs called durians (that really stink, but they say they taste good) and another called a jack fruit that has a very rough exterior.
