What was New York's reaction to the growing tensions between the North and the South?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Economic problems with social class.

Explanation:

The growing tensions between the North and the South affected the economy of New York. The city was divided among support, racial, and economic interests. While most New Yorkers supported the war, notable forces urged for peace with the Confederacy. The New York City economy depended massively on southern cotton.  Financiers, commercial shippers, merchants selling manufactured goods were dependent on the South and they did not want to have any conflict with them. African Americans have lived and worked in New York City, some as slaves and some as free people. African American tended to support abolition.
