The economy in the south suffered due to no longer having slaves for the farms, while the north prospered industrially. Socially, for both sides, there were many women and children who suffered due to losing their husbands and fathers in the war.

Consequences of the War
On April 9th, 1865 the head general of the Confederate army Robert Lee and his troops surrendered to the Union army. As one of the most disastrous wars in history came to an end a period of needed Reconstruction was about to begin. There were a variety of economic consequences of the civil war however the greatest were the effect the war had on agriculture and labor.
The south's actions of leaving the union had extreme consequences when they returned. Before they left the union it seemed like the south had it all because of one aspect the cotton industry. Cotton was a major cash crop and it made up all most all of their exports. When the south seceded and then were readmitted they had to adopt many amendments which caused the emancipation of the slaves. With Slaves no longer being legal, the south had no one to get the job done. They could have tried to do it there selves but several ex slaveholders held more than 50 slaves meaning there plantations were large and unmanageable without slaves. The agriculture of the south slowly started dying out. With little exports the south couldn't get money for imported goods and the economy began to decline and the south started to suffer. However in the North Agriculture was not affected simply because there was more industry and the north didn't have to thrive on Agriculture
The Labor field also endured consequences of the war. After the states were readmitted to the union the Freedmen's Bureau was created to aid and protect the newly freed blacks. One of the things the Freedmen's bureau did was provide former slaves jobs. With the jobs being provided in the south it had a positive and negative effect. The Positive effect was that it got the cotton industry going again because slaves could now work for "pay" on plantations. The negative effect was that the Freedmen's Bureau did not only get blacks jobs on plantations but they got jobs elsewhere. With a good amount of the south's population now working not just on plantations it took the jobs away from the whites.
In conclusion, the civil war price was paid by the south the economic consequences in Agriculture and labor. As the United States struggles to rebuild their union because of the south's actions it will overcome many obstacle. All in all, the south will never recover from the consequences they had to pay from succeeding from the union.

There are different economic and social factors that changed the west after the civil war. The slaves claimed huge parcels of land where they engaged in farming activities. The small white farmers were pushed to poverty by the war.
The American Civil War was caused not by slavery but by economic factors.

The social and economic battles fought during the civil war began with the Souths dependence on slave labor. Their economy depended on the good picked and farmed by the slave. The end of slavery threatened that way of life.
Yes it has.
