It prevented them from exchanging their cotton for the war supplies they so urgently needed, having no manufacturing capacity of their own.
Probably the North's naval blockade of principal southern ports not allowing much needed supplies to get in to hekp conduct the war; and also the cost to a principally agricultural economy of conducting the war itself
The Civil War cost more than any other war the country had fought before it. Because of this, the North and the South had to find ways to raise money. The economy in each part of the country was affected in different ways. The South had a harder time than the North. There weren't a lot of factories in the South. The people in the South were using cotton to get what they needed. The South would sell cotton to other parts of the country. It would then buy what it needed. The South's economy was built on the labor of slaves. African Americans were forced to work the farms and plantations where cotton was grown. Without their hard work, much of the cotton would be left to rot in the fields. There wouldn't be enough people to harvest it. The war hurt the cotton trade. The North set up a blockade in the waters off the coast of Southern ports. This blockade was able to keep many ships from leaving. The South had a hard time getting their cotton to other countries to sell.
The North and South wouldn't be able to trade and it would greatly hurt their economy.
The south's economy was based somewhat on cotton as well. But their request for help with cotton and the war from Britain was declined. The Southern economy collapsed. Its money was worthless. The blockade closed off trade. Sherman's March destroyed what little industry there was, and the transportation system to get food, clothing, and ammunition to the army. His army ate or destroyed the crops that the mothers, wives, and sisters of the soldiers had planted. By the end, a Barter Economy was all that was left, for what little was left to trade.
The South's main income was from cotton exported internationaly.
Effective naval blockade of principal ports, and control of the Mississippi River
the Union's effective naval blockade on cotton exports
War supplies from abroad. The Union naval blockade prevented them from exporting their cotton in exchange for the goods they badly needed.
The blockade of British ports was part of the Continental System put in place by Napoleon in retaliation for the British naval blockade of the coastlines in France. The result of the blockade of British ports was not severe or long-lasting. It hurt Britain to a small degree, but not as much as Napoleon hoped.
it would stop the trade of goods between the confederate states and other countries. They were most worried about their number one agricultural product, cotton. I'm guessing you're in mrs. Caalim's class too?
The Norths economy during the civil war and in general during this time period was industry and trade, the Souths was agriculture The Northern economy wasn't as badly hurt by the war as the economy of the South. (APEX)

The Civil War hurt the south because it cost a lot of money and it destroyed much of its infrastructure. It also put an end to the free labor used in much of the south when the slaves were freed.

If you get it done by a professional, only the clamp should hurt, but I doubt that the clamp hurts too much.
