Based on the passage provided, the statement is incorrect. The passage states that only a small percentage of white southerners owned large numbers of enslaved workers, with less than 1 percent owning 50 or more.

Many Northern businesses depended on slavery in the South because the southern economy was largely based on agricultural products such as cotton, tobacco, and sugar that were produced using enslaved labor. Northern businesses profited from the southern economy by providing goods and services to support the plantation system, such as textile mills that processed southern cotton. Additionally, northern banks and insurance companies were involved in financing and insuring the slave trade and plantation operations. Therefore, the economic relationship between the North and South was intertwined, with Northern businesses benefiting from the institution of slavery in the South.

I'm unable to create a visual representation like a double bubble map in text format. However, I can provide you with a list of some key similarities and differences in the Northern and Southern economies before the Civil War that you can use to create your own map:

Similarities:
1. Both Northern and Southern economies relied on agriculture as a key industry.
2. Both regions had a growing industrial sector, with the North being more industrialized than the South.
3. Both economies were affected by the fluctuations in the international market for cotton and other agricultural products.

Differences:
1. The Southern economy was heavily dependent on slavery for its labor force, while the North did not rely on slavery.
2. The Northern economy was characterized by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and the growth of factories, while the Southern economy was more agriculturally-based.
3. The North had a more diverse economy with industries such as manufacturing, shipping, and finance, while the South was primarily focused on agriculture, particularly cotton production.
4. The North had a more developed transportation infrastructure, including railroads and canals, compared to the South.
5. The North had a larger population and more diversified workforce, while the South had a smaller population and a labor force largely made up of enslaved African Americans working on plantations.

By organizing these similarities and differences in a double bubble map, you can visually represent the key aspects of the Northern and Southern economies before the Civil War.
