With most of the US Civil War battles taking place in the South, Northern industry boomed during the war. Government contracts to businesses for war supplies helped this growth. After the war, as the North expanded westward, the South remained stagnant. Between 1860 and 1870, wealth in North grew by 50%. By comparison, the economic trends in the South went in reverse. Southern wealth declined by 60%. It would take the South 60 years to reach the level of wealth it had in 1860.
