Best Answer

Only the sacrifices you expect when the young men have been mobilised, and the civilian labour force depleted.

Economically, the North enjoyed a major boom, with the farms and the factories working full-out supplying the armies, and total freedom to import and export. Only cotton was in short supply, for obvious reasons.

The hardships were on the battlefield, especially the near-starvation of the Union army at Chatanooga. And in the final year, after Grant ended the system of prisoner-exchange, conditions in the prison-camps became truly horrendous, with consequent suffering by the prisoners' families.
