- GEOGRAPHIC FEATURES
- It makes it so easy to grow many different crops!
- In the South they had warmer weather and fertile soil. This helped farmers to make more of a profit.
- I love how warm it is down in the south and almost all year long
- POLITICAL
- We keep getting richer with all our crops and land, and can afford more slaves to do all the labor on our farm. We are so blessed to own such a lovely plantation and own so many slaves. Luckily we have such strong religious beliefs and are well read and educated, otherwise who knows where we'd be!

- Well, you're in luck. As a local politician, I can be sure to uphold the Fugitive Slave Act and get them back for you!
- Since the South depended on the waterways to transport their goods for cheap, most cities were near these waterways.
- We really are lucky to have all of our major cities right by or on the waterways so we can transport everything easily using the rivers or open waterways.
- I brought all the cotton we harvested from my plantation so we can get it shipped to all our customers in the North and in Europe.
- That cotton gin old Eli Whitney invented sure is making it easier to process and sell tons and tons of cotton.
