Comparative Regional Development in Antebellum Manufacturing

Fred Bateman and Thomas Weiss

The Journal of Economic History, 1975, vol. 35, issue 1, 182-208

Abstract: A reconsideration of regional economic development during the antebellum period is underway. Emphasis thus far has tended to center on economic aggregates, on one region (the South) or on a single sector (agriculture). While the results of this work have altered our understanding of the antebellum South's relative economic position—or at least have sharpened the debate on the issues—comprehension of the role and position of the period's industrial sector remains faulty, largely because it has been derived from indirect evidence.
