AP US History
Unit 4 – American Expansion, 1800–1848
Topic 4.13
If Southern states had embraced industrialization as enthusiastically as Northern ones during this period, how might it have affected social hierarchies?
Social hierarchy based on race and class would be completely eradicated by industrialization-driven equality movements.
Social hierarchies could potentially become less rigid with more opportunities for upward mobility through new industries.
Industrialization wouldn't affect social hierarchies since wealth was inherited rather than earned.
Slaveholding elites would dominate manufacturing sectors and preserve existing social structures.
