How can you connect the North's way of work to todays?
In the North in the 1700s the industrial revolution was begining. At this time the age of new technology in work places were just starting. The Northern states' work was in cramed factories without air conditioning. There were no laws against worker cruelty and they worked constantly without breaks. Entire families were sometimes hired in the mills and factories. Now today the people that still work in factories have personal space, air conditioning, and laws for protection. Conditions have changed in the amount of hours they consecutivly work, and laws have been created

Create laws for workers in the mills and factories.
In the mills the life of a mill girl were very different then they are today. There were no laws protecting the workers at this time, because everyone is so caught up in the advances and the high demand. 1. All girl's hair must be tied back. In case of it getting caught in any machines that could result in serious injury or even death. 2. Gloves must be worn when working on threads, because it can cut ones hands. 3. Face masks must be worn because of harsh particles in the air. 4. Ear plugs must be worn because of the extremely loud noises the machines make. 5. Windows must be open at all times to bring the heat down in the room.


 * __Economic__**

How did the technology benefit the economy in the late 1700s?
The North had more modern technologies than the south, and this benefited them a lot. They could leave machines to do part of the work and that means more products to sell which equals more cash for the economy. Technology made life easier for some employee's, but did not make the working conditions improve.

How does your opinion differ from the south's opinion on slavery? Support with facts.
Slave owners had no respect for the slaves and treated them only for labor purposes. They were looked at as property not people, and only were bought to make a profit. If the slave wanted to do something he/she must have permision, even to go to the bathroom. From 3:00 in the morning to 11:00 was a typical daily schedule for a slave. The only way to not be controlled completley was to save and practice your religion, and tend to your families.. because it truley was all you had. A person is a person no matter your skin color, or condition of being. I view a slave as another person, who says a white man couldn't be inslaved, why does it have to be an African American.

Create connections to the South's life and ours today.
The south was all about farming and agriculture and they depending souly on cotton. Today we depend on a variety of crops and are more dependant on technology than ever before. Allthough we are different, we will always be the same in that we are constantly undergoingn change. The cotton gin, a machine that removes seeds from short-staple cotton, was a great beginning to the industry production undergoing change. As we all know today is always changing and growing with new versions constantly coming out.

How did the cotton industry help improve the south's economy over time?
Like every new advance in technology, the economy boomed. With the cotton gin it introduced companies could pick more cotton in a shorter amount of time. Making a product in the quickest time possible was the real bonus, because you can now meet to a higher demand.
