The South was in worse shape, since they were defeated. Plus there was the Reconstruction Era which penalized the South and burdened them with additional bureaucracy.

What side had a more difficult time rebuilding after the civil war?
The South definitely came off worse - the entire city of Atlanta was burnt to the ground. There was only one notable battle fought in the North, and as such it did not suffer as much damage as the South did. No need to be mean.
Why was the civil war more devastating in the south?
Yes, because nearly all the battles were in the South, and in the last stages, Sherman was waging 'total war' on civilians. However, after Grant ended prisoner-exchanges, the Union prisoners in Andersonville suffered extreme privations, worse than anything the Confederate prisoners experienced in Northern jails.
What did African Americans jobs were during the civil war?
Many who were former slaves served in the war, because they had no money, homes, or family. The pay in the Union army was poor. The South was an even worse deal because it only offered them little more freedom than they had before. Those who had been born in the free north, continued with their lives, must likely studying or owning shops. (The north was not known for its agriculture, so it is unlikely that they worked on farms. )
What extent does the civil war solve the problems that had been facing the country prior to the war?
one problem it solved was bringing the south back to the union. so it brought the united staes together again. it also freed all the slaves in the south and later in the north. but after that it kind of just made a mess of things because the African Americans were being treated worse than before in my opinion and the south still really didn't want anything to do with the United States. they were just forced back in.

What was a major event that caused the American Civil War and how?
A major event was the conflict between the North and South about how African Americans should be treated. The South thought they should be slaves while the North thought opposite. Fights began to go through and it got worse and worse until a war began.

Did The election Of 1860 Make things worse between North and South?
Yes, the election of 1860 made things worse between the North and the South. The election of Abraham Lincoln, who opposed the expansion of slavery, triggered the secession of Southern states. This ultimately led to the Civil War, worsening the already strained relationship between the two regions.

Why was it worse for those in the south rather than the north during the Civil War?
Well for one most of the battles were fought in the south: Bull Run/Manassas, Selma Bay, Ringgold Gap, Blair's Landing.... And even with most of them being in the south, many of the battles fought in the south were fought in VA. Secondly, the north was far more industrialized- the south was basically agricultural. So when troops went through and razed the fields the economy of the south took a large hit.

Why was urban development of colinial south slow?
The economy depended on the huge plantations which took up vast lands for crops. It began this way and stayed. Because of the lack of industrial development this was a problem for the south durning the civil war. They didn't have the factories that the north had and this affected the outcome of the war. Even today the industrial factors are smaller in the south and since many of the mills have closed it has gotten worse.
Why would African Americans have fled from the south to the north after the Emancipation Proclamation?
When I was a kid (say just a half century ago), there were still "white" and "colored" signs in Washington DC. 150 years ago it was even worse, and the farther south you went, the worse it got. If you were smart, you ran.
What was the Reconstruction 1864-1916 about?
Reconstruction is how the North punished the South for starting the Civil War (or War Between the States.) The army was stationed in the South until 1877. Blacks were freed, but some had an even worse time as tenant farmers than as slaves. Some white Southerners joined the Ku Klux Klan to harrass blacks and other groups they did not like.
