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).
