Answer:
Before the war the South ran on an agricultural economy where they depended on large cash crops for income. The landscape was full of large plantations and the south depended on slave labor. The North before the war was based on a manufacturing econmy, they would bring in the raw mateirals being grown in the south and turn them into finished goods via the railroads. The North conisted of cities with people living in smaller homes and apartments.
During the war the South continued ot depend on on slave labor, most the men went off to fight the war leaving the women to care for the property. As the war raged on the South was destroyed, plantations were burned, animals stolen and land burned. THe people became desperate as the majority of battles were fought on Southern Ground. The North during the war did not have as drastic effect, while the men went to war women did step up and go to work however the landscape was not destroyed nor were their lives in as much danger
After While the agricultural, slave-based Southern economy was devastated by the war, the Northern economy benefited from development in many of its industries, including textile and iron production. The war also stimulated the growth of railroads, improving transportation infrastructure
