Kind of hard to industrialize when raw materials were being kept out by a BLOCKADE.
“Kind of hard to industrialize when raw materials were being kept out by a BLOCKADE.”
By 1820 the Industrial Revolution was well underway in the Northern States however, the South refused to adopt the technology developed during that time.
Could you please provide evidence that the Union blockaded the Southern ports beginning in 1820 which would have indeed hampered their ability to industrialize?
