Military History Online - Battle of Gettysburg The United States of the 1850's was one of great contrast.  Between 1850 and 1860, more than 2.8 million immigrants poured into coastal cities of the North.  The population of New York soared from 515,000 to 814,000 during the 1850's.  This population influx spurred along the Northern industrialization at an incredible pace.  By the end of the decade, the Northern states contained four fifths of all American factories and two thirds of the railroad mileage.  The South on the other hand, experienced an agricultural revolution during the same period, fueled chiefly by slave labor.  Annual cotton yield grew from 2 million bales in 1849 to 5.7 million bales in 1859.  Although other Southern crops included rice and tobacco, United States cotton production amounted to seven eighths of all the world's cotton produced and totaled more than of all its exports.
