Question

Where did most Americans live in the early 1800s?

Answer 1

The North; particularly the Northeast.

Explanation:

The North/Northeast was more industrialized. The Industrial Revolution had a huge effect on this region. Many factories were built, and people flocked over there for job opportunities.

It was a center of business and the only place goods were exported or imported. Because of this, the South was less populated. The southern economy revolved around farms and plantations. Slaves were a prominent part of the economy in the South as well.
