resources that led to the Industrial Revolution taking root there. First, it had fast moving
rivers that could be used to power water wheels that powered factories, The north also had
nearby coal resources that could be used to power steam engines to power factories. Nearby
iron deposits were also used to develop factories, and last, the north had wonderful natural
ports that aided in distribution of these goods. Besides the natural resources, the north also
had abundant human resources. Most could not make a profitable living from farming in the
North due to poor soil, and short growing conditions, so there were more people in cities
looking for a better way to make a living. There was also a large number of immigrants
coming to the north that led to increased human resources. There were more people willing
to invest capital into businesses along with more banks willing to lend money which
increased the north’s amount of capital resources also.
