Best Answer

The US Civil War was a heavy burden for both sides. The loss of life was high, approximately 650,000 soldiers were killed and tens of thousands more had serious life long injuries. Running the war was a financial burden. The South was bankrupted. With the end of slave labor and its agricultural base in ruins, the Southern economy would not recover until the 20th century.
