Best Answer

The Southern states struggled to recover from the US Civil War because the war was fought mainly in the southern states. Their cities, farms, railroads and industries were largely destroyed by the Union army during the war and a much larger proportion of southerners died during the war, depriving the south of infrastructure and workers to rebuild it.
