Which kind of damage included broken railroads factories and bridges durning the Civil War?

Answer 1

Most the damage caused by the US Civil War happened in the South, as that's where most of the battles were fought.

Economists have estimated that it took until 1900 for the Southern economy to reach only 75% of its wealth in 1860. This is a glaring figure and displays the amount of damage the South suffered due to the US Civil War. To add to this almost unreal figure is the fact that with only middle 19th century technology in warfare, the economic damage was accomplished in only 4 years.As the Northern armies swept into the South from the west and north, railroads, bridges and roads were often needed to be destroyed to ensure Southern armies could not use them. Also, although it is so often stated that the South had very little manufacturing, what it did have in Virginia, Tennessee and Louisiana had to also be destroyed.

After the war, the North basically looked westward. Few if any funds were being invested in the South. And, other Northern industries in the east were enhanced with new technologies and inventions.

Also, the Southerners were a bitter group of people ( of their own making ) . In one way, the ability of the South to continue the war was an albatross. Better if perhaps they had lost the war faster. This is not meant as a bit of humor. Lives and more lives would have been saved, not to mention the property damage.

The only weapon the South retained was that for the next 100 years or so, their revenge against the Republicans and the North was to form a coalition of states that only elected Democrats.

Answer 2

The kind of damage that was included during the Civil War was the destruction of railroads, factories, and bridges. These infrastructures were targeted by both Union and Confederate forces in an attempt to disrupt the enemy's supply lines and transportation networks. The destruction of these vital assets caused significant economic and logistical challenges for both sides during the war.
