So what prevented southern states from also industrializing?

At the Founding neither section was industrial.

The Industrial Revolution started in the mid-1700's. There does appear to have been some degree of industrialization/manufacturing present and concentrated in the Northern states prior to the Revolutionary War.

The different economies of the Northern and Southern regions was a design of British colonialism we inherited.
