Question

What is the number one cost of the American Civil war? A social, B economic, C political.

Answer 1

Political is the best answer

Answer 2

B.

Four years of civil war drained the American economy in both the North and the South. In the 1850s, the U.S. government was spending about $1 million every week. By mid-1861, the first year of the war, the Union alone was spending $1.5 million every day, and the amount continued to climb.
