The cost of the war was higher for the South rather that the North.
Explanation:
The costs of war for both sides were similar in magnitude and although the estimates are very complex and questionable, the figures are illustrative. The total loss for the Union was calculated in 2,188 billion of 1860 dollars and for the Confederation 2,017 billion in the same terms. Due to the difference in population, this represented a per capita expenditure of $ 96 for the Union and $ 380 for the Confederation. That is, the "Sacrifice" assumed by the Confederates reached four times that of the Union in terms per capita.
