The majority of children being born will be nonwhite (APEX Class ;)
This is strictly my opinion but I believe it was a failure. It's original goal was the revitalize the American economy and pull us out of the Great Depression and get American's working again. In this it succeeded to an extent lowering the unemployment rate significantly however it still did not completely work since 15% of the United State's population was still jobless and in poverty. It won't be until WWII and the building of the arms industry as well as army that we will pull ourselves from the Great Depression.
economic The first and most important point is that the Civil War was expensive. In 1860 the U.S. national debt was $65 million.
Political The Civil war had profound effects on the the United States and the Confederacy in economic, political, and social. The war had different effects depending on the region which can be divided by effect on the south, north, and west.
