What was the main industry in the south during the civil war?
Very weak at the beginning. The only existing large factory was the Tredegar Iron Works of Richmond VA. Afterwards the situation improved. Thanks to the work of Gen. Gorgas there was a great development of mining for the extraction of raw materials needed to manufacture ammunition. For the cast iron were established some 30 foundries able to furnish 50,000 tons of product every year. Other new industries were: - workshop for the production of copper, lead, and zinc, - a large chemical factory was created at Charlotte (South Carolina) for the production of mercury fulminate, - a large gunpowder was founded at Augusta (GA) and other factories of the same kind were founded at Petersburg (VA) and San Antonio (Texas). - the manufacture of ammunition started in the Arsenal of Richmond, Fayetteville an Selma (Alabama) Charleston (South Carolina) Asheville (North Carolina) and Tallahasse. The created chain of industries was therefore able to compete with those of the Union, and succeed in sustaining the Confederacy war effort.
