Answer 1

Answer: Leaving worn-out eastern lands, southerners extended cotton cultivation and slavery westward. Cotton remained king in the South due to a steady growth in world demand, availability of new lands, a self-reproducing supply of cheap slave labor, and low-cost steamboat transportation on the Mississippi River. The economy was healthy but undiversified, and wealth was concentrated in the hands of large planters.
