What influence did the US Civil War have on US industry and what influence did industry have on the war?

Answer 1

The Civil War affected the United Sates in a ton of ways. Right after the Civil War, during the Reconstruction era, the Civil War helped "modernize" the South. Before the Civil War, the South was mostly rural area and lacked transportation. After the Civil War, the northern Carpetbaggers came to the South to help them recover from the war, they gave the south roads, introduced factories, and education.

In the long run, the factories that were introduced to the south contributes today to the grown southern economy. Today the fastest growing area in the United States economically wise, is Atlanta Georgia. In addition, many car companies have begun to open car factories in southern area. In recent years, the US population has started slowly move back to the inner area's of the country due to the growing economy and job opportunities given by the Southern areas. More importantly, the result of the Civil War was to determine if the US was going to split into two countries, The United States of America and The Confederate States of America.

I forgot to mention though, that today the poor education from back then reflects on the education in the South today, statistically speaking, the southern areas of the United States have the lowest test scores.
