A House Dividing: Economic Development in Pennsylvania and Virginia before the Civil War - Studies in Economic History and Policy
Majewski, John (University of California, Santa Barbara)

While the North enjoyed bustling cities and rapid technological progress, Professor Majewski explains how slavery prevented the growth of consumer markets, large-scale cities, and integrated railroad networks in the South.
