After the war, women and minorities were awarded with more rights. They were treated much better then what they had been treated like. They were treated more as equals.
The South could produce all the food it needed, though transporting it to soldiers and civilians was a major problem. The South also had a great nucleus of trained officers. Seven of the eight military colleges in the country were in the South. The South also proved to be very resourceful.
Hope it helps you
