CIVIL WAR
Railroads were so important because that was 1 of the only ways of transportation. Including riding a boat but mostly riding a train or car.
Yes there were some railroads commisioned in the civil war but not even close to what they destroyed. ___ Railroads were already well established by the time the American Civil War began. THey were heavily used by both sides during the war to move food, equipment and troops around.
Broken railroads, factories, and bridges.
The north had many factories and rail roads, making them far more advanced then the south. Britain however depended more on the south than the north because they needed cotton and the south was who supplied it. Tax was far better in the North too, it went up 80% during the Civil War. Which was better than the souths 9000%. Think about a gumball being $450. That's partially why the south was defeated my the north.
Railroads were used in the Civil War to transport supplies and troops to the battlefield. Since the North had more of the railroads, they were able to use it greatly to their advantage, and it was one of the reasons they were able to win the war.

Rail-roads
The same role they play today. They move people and goods from one place to another. However the extensive rail system in the north along with superior manufacturing ability contributed greatly to their win over the south.

The north was mostly factories and industries so they had many rail roads. The south was the opposite and was mostly plantations. Being mostly plantations they didn't have many rail roads, so it was harder to transport things.
