Answer:The Civil War era was a period of great economic, political, and social upheaval in American history. Due to the war, the whole of the South's economic structure was literally destroyed. The land in Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, and South Carolina was devastated, causing the South to lag even further in the agricultural sector which had made it great. The North, on the other hand, which had mighty manufacturing capabilities, produced 17 times more cotton and 32 times more weaponry than the South.
During the war, the Northern states witnessed rapid industrialization. So, sadly for them, the South suffered tremendously because they were unable to withstand the North's oppressive tactics. Along with their decreasing industrial base, Southerners found it hard to mobilize their resources in an economy where slave labor was outlawed. For instance, when the slaves were freed, $1.5 billion of the South's capital was ruined. Northerners, who had efficient railways that carried supplies and Union troops, were able to maintain an economy that supported them on land and sea. Due to their blockade of Southern ports, the Union hastened an end to the Civil War.
