What impact did blockade runners have on the south confederacy in the beginning of the war?
The South's whole economy was based off of exporting goods such as cotton to places like Britain and France. When the Union blockaded the South's ports, the Southern economy took a turn for the worst. Sooner or later Robert E. Lee would have to march his troops into the north to steal supplies because the southern government didn't have enough for them.

What was the reason of the civil war?
It was fought over the twin issues of slavery and states rights. The south developed a view of the relationship between the federal government and the states which, if it had prevailed, would have made it almost impossible for the federal government to enforce its laws. Although the southern view was an arguable interpretation of the constitution, the primary reason they developed it was to rotect the institution of slavery. As anti-slavery sentiment grew in the north, so did political support for abolishing the institution at the federal level. The south kept offering interpretations of the constitution that would have prevented the abolition of slavery. And those interpretations were not invalid. When the new Republican party came into power in the election of 1860 the southern states felt that slavery was going to be ablolished so they seceeded from the union in order to protect it. The north, both to preserve the union and to attack slavery said thast secession was constitutionally impermissable and was an act of rebellion against the legitimate government. The north acted to enforce the constitution and federal law by keeping the southern states in the union and the southern states fought to maintain their independence. Michael Montagne Marx would suggest, naturally, that part of the reason for the sudden upsurge in abolition at the time preceding the Civil War was due, not only to Uncle Tom's Cabin, but to the economic upsurge in the south due to the cotton gin.

What are the differences between technology in Vietnam and the US?
During our US Civil War of 1861-1865, the northern states were industrialized (and were able to produce war material, such as rifles and revolvers (musket & pistols) for the Union Army (US Army), etc.) and the Southern States were less industrialized, and were more of an "Agriculture" based economy (raising cotton, and tobacco, etc.) which is why the South had to "import" their rifles/muskets from Europe (which consequently caused the Union (US Navy) to blockade the South, which in turn created "Blockade Runners", etc.). South Vietnam was an "Agriculture" based economy, while the US is predominately an industrial economy (actually the US is strong in both economies).
