GROWTH, DIVISION, AND UNITY

1800s Industrialization
1st factories along the fall line, waterfalls
used to power machines
Midwest coal supplies used for fuel
made it a centre for industry
Textile industry made cotton a major
cash crop in the south
land cleared for plantations and
slave
labour became important
people try to end slavery by helping
slaves escape on Underground
Railroad

GROWTH, DIVISION, AND UNITY

American Civil war
Tension between agricultural
south and industrial north
Resulted in abolition of slavery
(former slave given citizenship,
equal protection under the law,
and the right to vote)

ECONOMY
The North American economy is well defined and
structured in three main economic areas
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA),
Caribbean Community and Common Market (CARICOM),
Central American Common Market (CACM).

NORTH AMERICAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT

(NAFTA)
It is one of the four largest trade blocs in the world
Its implementation in 1994 was designed for economic
homogenization with hopes of eliminating barriers of trade and foreign
investment between Canada, the United States and Mexico. [
This is in part attributed to the fact that the economy of the United
States is the world's largest national economy

CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY AND COMMON

MARKET (CARICOM)
The Caribbean trade bloc CARICOM came into agreement
in 1973 when it was signed by 15 Caribbean nations. As of
2000, CARICOM trade volume was US$96 billion. CARICOM
also allowed for the creation of a common passport for
associated nations. In the past decade the trade bloc focused
largely on Free Trade Agreements and under the CARICOM
Office of Trade Negotiations (OTN) free trade agreements
have been signed into effect.

CENTRAL AMERICAN COMMON MARKET

(CACM).
Integration of Central American economies occurred under the
signing of the Central American Common Market agreement in
1961; this was the first attempt to engage the nations of this
area into stronger financial cooperation.
Recent implementation of the Central American Free Trade
Agreement (CAFTA) has left the future of the CACM unclear.
The Central American Free Trade Agreement was signed by
five Central American countries
The focal point of CAFTA is to create a free trade area similar
to that of NAFTA

DEMOGRAPHICS
Economically, Canada and the United States are the
wealthiest and most developed nations in the continent,
followed by Mexico, a newly industrialized country. The
countries of Central America and the Caribbean are at various
levels of economic and human development.
Demographically, North America is ethnically diverse. Its three
main groups are Caucasians, Mestizos and Blacks. There is a
significant minority of Indigenous Americans and Asians
among other less numerous groups.
