The opening of the Suez Canal in 1860 helped the economy of the Philippines by making trade with European countries easier.

100 British pounds in 1860 was equivalent to approximately 5000 pounds in the 2012 economy. The reason the amount is worth so much more in modern times is due to the inflation that causes the economy to rise and fall with more variation than it did a century ago.
With most of the US Civil War battles taking place in the South, Northern industry boomed during the war. Government contracts to businesses for war supplies helped this growth. After the war, as the North expanded westward, the South remained stagnant. Between 1860 and 1870, wealth in North grew by 50%. By comparison, the economic trends in the South went in reverse. Southern wealth declined by 60%. It would take the South 60 years to reach the level of wealth it had in 1860.
The Civil War ruined the Southern economy because most of the battles were fought in Southern states. Farmlands had been destroyed and the few factories they had were either badly damaged or also in ruins due to the battles. The Southern economy of 1860 has been measured by historians and economists. Using 1860 as a base, it was not until 1900 that the Southern economy had even reached 75% of its 1860 output. Another reason for the lack of a rebound in the Southern economy was the loss of Southern soldiers. Both sides in the war lost about the same amount of soldiers, however, the losses in the South had a greater impact because the overall Southern population, minus the slave population, was about nine million. The North had about 23 million. With that said, a large part of the available working men in the post war period was simply not there.
Prior to the US Civil War, the Southern economy was primarily based on its cotton crop. This was a major plus for the entire US economy in 1860 for example. Cotton was shipped to Europe and also to Northern textile mills.

They worked for the whites, which helped the economy grow. It set up a system of racism and slavery that lasted until the American Civil War (1860's)

Your butt went on fire.In December of 1860 South Carolina officially stepped out of the US. This was due to the election of President Lincoln. They believed that Lincoln would harm their economy and society because of his strong anti-slavery positions. Lincoln had promised, however, to let slavery exist in the South.
Many events contributed to several Southern states seceding from the Union in 1860. One important event was the election of Lincoln.
By 1860, cotton fueled the Southern economy and helped the Northern textile mills. Two thirds of the world's cotton was produced by the Southern plantations. The northern textile mills were effected by the disruption of the US Civil War in that by 1860, mills sold $100 million worth of cloth made from cotton.
