Publisher's Synopsis
Southern Wealth And Northern Profits is a book written by Thomas Prentice Kettell and published in 1860. The book is a detailed analysis of the economic relationship between the North and South of the United States in the years leading up to the Civil War. Kettell argues that the South's wealth was largely derived from the labor of enslaved Africans, while the North's profits came from the manufacturing and trade industries. The book is based on statistical data and official figures, and Kettell uses this information to demonstrate the economic interdependence of the two regions. He also argues that the future prosperity and welfare of the Republic depends on maintaining the Union between the North and South. The book provides a unique perspective on the economic factors that contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War and the importance of preserving the Union.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
