What social group did not prosper from boom in the economy created by the US Civil War?
The working class did not benefit from the US Civil War's economic boom in the North. Yes, labor shortages resulted in rising wages, but did not catch up to inflation. Prices rose nearly 75 to 80% in the North during the war years. Wages rose less than 66% of the inflation rate. To an extent the recourse to machinery helped to minimum the lean on labor and also reduced dependence on skilled labor. Women whose husbands were in the military service and immigrants suffered during the war. The so-called Lincoln draft riots in New York City were organized in part to widespread labor discontent, especially among the Irish immigrant working class. Draft opposition was settled by the Lincoln administration through the use of the army. A strike at a cannon factory in New York State was broken by army troops. Labor leaders were imprisoned and some States passed anti union legislation.
