Yes, the North emerged as the wealthiest region in the nation after the Panic of 1857. The economic downturn disproportionately affected the South, which relied heavily on agriculture and was more vulnerable to fluctuations in commodity prices. Meanwhile, the North's diversified economy, with its industrial base and expanding railroads, allowed it to recover more swiftly and continue to grow, solidifying its economic dominance in the years leading up to the Civil War.
