Yes, the Southern economy completely collapsed.
The agricultural status of the Southern states was extremely high. Over 80% of the South's economy came from agriculture. Whilst industrially, it was in the dumps, while the North's industrial economy was boosting. That was a huge disadvantage for the South during the civil war.
The Southern economy was devastated due to the fighting that occurred during the US Civil War.As an example, by the year 1900, agriculture output in the South had only reached 75% of what it was in 1860. This is a disturbing figure and may have contributed to emigration of many people from the South to the Western frontiers and to the Northern industrial states following the end of the war.
