    Who knows their US history?

    I need an important event during the 20th century which highlighted the difference between North and South for my exam tomorrow. Thanks.

    Try the stock market crash of 1929 and its effect on the agrarian South vs. the industrial North.

    I got to believe the differences between civil rights is the big event distiguishing the north and south.

    More specifically, the assasination of Medgar Evers, for example?
