Barriers to Industry in<br />
South<br />
“White Gold” - cotton was so profitable there was<br />
no need to look elsewhere<br />
Small Markets - Cities did not form in the South.<br />
This made getting goods to market more expensive<br />
due to transportation costs<br />
Tradition - The South loved farming and saw industry<br />
and cities as ugly, dirty, rushed and undignified<br />
Climate - warm, humid weather allows for year<br />
round growth<br />
Low Population - few cities to provide labor<br />
