Answer 1

Three examples of how the Civil War impacted the United States industry are: 1) when the soldiers left to go to war, the spaces that they filled in when they had a job became free for other people. This decreased unemployment. 2) Since the war required a lot of war equipment to be made, the factories were kept busy, which increased production and profits. 3) The war also encouraged the inventions of more and more things that would help in warfare and other events, which helped the economy of the United States.

Three examples of how the United States industry impacted the Civil War are: 1) the factories provided constant supplies for the war. 2) The inventions of steam locomotives and steamboats greatly improved the transportation of the soldiers. 3) The invention of the telegraph system helped the soldiers a lot by being able to send messages much quicker than by horseback.

Answer 2

Industry's impact on the Civil War:
1.  Both sides made use of railroad and steamboats for mobilizing troops and shipping supplies.
2.  The North's heavier industrialization enabled it to produce weapons at a faster rate.
3.  The use of telegraph technology allowed wartime communication to happen at an accelerated rate of speed.

The Civil War's impact on industrialization:
The war accelerated and advanced industrialization and the building of railroads, as well as the invention and use of new types of weapons.  Eventually industrial technology would take over more and more aspects of agricultural production previously done by slave labor.  The cotton gin had already accelerated the processing of cotton.  The cotton picker (for harvesting cotton), became commercially viable by the mid-20th century.
