False
The economic prosperity of the North and South (United States) and England in the nineteenth century was not primarily due to the work performed by the enslaved. The North and South economies thrived through other means such as industrialization, trade, and agriculture fueled by various labor systems.
For example, the North emphasized a free labor system that led to economic growth and social mobility, while the South's economy heavily relied on large agricultural plantations supported by slave labor, especially in growing cotton for northern mills.
