The South - by far.

The Union blockade prevented the South from exporting its plentiful cotton in exchange for war-supplies, and it had very little manufacturing industry. In the last year, the Union armies also laid waste to the farms and railroads, causing unemployment and starvation.

The North prospered during the war, because its factories and farms were busy producing all the weapons, ammunition, equipment and rations for the armies. It was also attracting immigrants from Europe, bringing new skills with them.
