The South was dominated by a class of Southern planters who despised the industrial sector.

Explanation:

The opposition between the North and the South was not only between slavery and freedom, it was also betwen industry and agriculure.

Just like Jefferson, the Southern planters had a pastoral ideal. The Dixiecrats(aristocrats of Dixie) did not want to see their traditional activity threatened.
