Describe the Northern and Southern economies in the years before the Civil War?
Uksunnykitty
The North's economy consisted mainly of factories and industrial products. The South however was strongly agricultural because of the lack of its railroads and factories. Bottom line the North was already an industrial state so during the war it outproduced the South weapons wise and outnumbered the South at an alarming rate. Thanks to the North's railroad system weapons troops could be easily shipped through the nation where as in the South troops and weapons were transported less efficiently. The South really lost the war from the beginning and only survived thanks to General Robert E Lee's leadership.
