How did the US Civil War affect the Northern and Southern economies?
The Civil War ruined the southern economy. The blockade strangled foreign trade. Sherman's March to the Sea destroyed the infrastructure of its heartland, and, by the end of the war, its currency was absolutely worthless. People burned the banknotes in their stoves and fireplaces for warmth. The industrial north churned out goods such as weapons and uniforms under government contracts, and, in some cases, expanded production to well beyond prewar levels. For the north, war was big business.It is worth noting that, even though the War ended up being a net positive for the North, many New England factory owners were opposed to the blockade initially, as it cut off the supplies of cotton the textile mills and garment factories needed to do business. In the end, many of these mills were the ones buying Southern cotton, despite the blockade.

Why did the north want to keep slaves?
The Northern states, for the most part had outlawed slaves. Some states abolished slavery even before the US Constitution was ratified. There was a segment of people in the North that directly and indirectly benefited from the slavery in the South. Northern owned textile mills needed cheap cotton, and slaves working on Southern cotton plantations provided cheap labor and thus kept the cost of cotton lower than if free and paid farmhands worked in the cotton fields. Some Northern people, in fact many by today's standards were racists. If slavery was abolished then some former slaves might migrate to the North. Not only did racist people oppose that, but in certain labor unions they believed that any new free Black workers would drive down the pay rates of factory workers.
