The south only had around 6,000 miles of track opposed to the north 22,000 miles of uniformed track. Not only did the south have much less track, they didn't have the same size track everywhere. In other words shipments may have to change trains 4 times to get to its destination. While the north on the other hand could go from start to finish in the original container. The south had to many people building trains and no regulation as a country.
The North had over 22,000 miles of track and were very industrialized. They never had to change containers when an item was shipped because it had the same size track throughout and was long enough to reach it's distance in one trip.

What was life like for many freedmen in the South after the Civil Answer this question…
the strategy that was used by the north to defeat the south was the python. the python is when the north surrounded the South and slowly moved in and destroyed the south just like a python does to its prey.
Prior to the American Civil War, the main reason that the South did not develop an extensive system of railroads, such as was developed in the North, was geographical. Southern planters made use of the extensive river-ways, as well as the numerous ports on the Gulf Coast, to transport their goods by boat. In this, they were of course assisted by the "free labor" of their large slave-population.

The south had more miles of railroad then the north in the 1860's
Northern had more population, more skilled workers, more factories, 3/4 of wealth, shipyards and better railroads. Southern had better military traditions but their working conditions were poor. They had only farming like cotton, rice... They also had cashcrops and farmlands.

first of all you are wrong, the life in the south was harder by transportation than the north was. In the 1800s in the south there was over 10,000 miles of railroad track's north had a better transportation way in everything, more railroads, roads, and canal's, the north was filled exceptionally with canal's. The south only had a few good and easy ways of transportation.
