The statement is true. In the mid-1800s, during the years prior to the Civil War, the South was overwhelmingly agricultural, and the only city that was more or less industrial was New Orleans.

The economy of the South was based on large plantations, mostly of cotton, rice, sugar, and tobacco, that employed a large number of enslaved workers.
