It had an agricultural economy that was dependent on enslaved persons.

It was still recovering from the Civil War. (This one is incorrect.)

Answer 1

I would say A)It had an agricultural economy that was dependent on enslaved persons. The south was gaining enough revenue from their cash crops that their wasn't as big a need for industrialization as their was in the north. 

Answer 2

The reason the Southern part of the United States was slower to industrialize than the North was A. It had an agricultural economy that was dependent on enslaved persons.

Slavery did not allow the South to focus on industrialization. It mainly focused on owning slaves and using them to produce agricultural products, thinking that that was the best means of undertaking agriculture. Today, agricultural production has been mechanized to a large extent.

The South was not slower to industrialize than the North because it:

• was recovering from the Civil War
• had smaller population
• lacked resources to industrialize.

Thus, the South was slow to industrialize because of its over-dependence on enslaved persons to power its agricultural revolution.
