Question

What were the long-term economic effects of the Civil War

Answer 1

Answer:

industrialization, hand labor was being replaced by machines. Water was used to help power the machines in the industries.  Industries were being built in cities, creating a larger population density, as people wanted to move closer to businesses for work opportunities and access to higher living standards. This created a clear and defined gap between the rich and the poor due to the cost of living in the cities, many wealthy people owned businesses, while the poor operated and worked in factories and mills. The North was growing at a rapid rate, with both population and industries, and the South struggled severely, economically, after the war and developed at a much slower rate. The South was still very dependent on agriculture as their source of income and farmers took a big toll after the war, as a lot of their land was destroyed. The invention of railroads allowed goods to be transported at a much quicker rate, increasing profits and production. The new industries provided thousands of people with jobs and the machines allowed the rate of production to increase tremendously
