How did the Southerners raise money during the Civil War?

How did the economies differ in the North and South?
The Southern economy was very dependent on slaves. Slaves did work for free, but ended up giving the Southerners a lot of money. The North didn't have the need for slaves as they didn't have as many plantations or land good for farming. Instead Northerners had industries that grew quicker than the South's crops. The South was forced to buy their manufactured goods from the Northern and sell their crops to the North for low prices. Many Southerners despised the uneven difference of the farming, which only helped increase tensions when the Civil War started up.

Why was selling crops for a profit important to the south colonies?
Most of the land in the south was perfect for farming all year round causing many southerners to be farmers so they could get rich off selling cash crops, which were certain plants that was very high in demand in trade causing it to have a high price when sold like cotton and coffee. With so many farmers in the south exporting crops and very few other jobs making up the south's income it had a big impact on their economy. So when production of cash crops goes up it causes the south's economy and if it goes down so does the economy.

The country of Avorare has many starving people Should you encourage the people to grow crops such as vegetables wheat and corn or is it better to encourage them to use the land to raise cattle fo?
It all depends on the land base of Avorare, whether the soil there is suitable for growing crops or instead for raising livestock, and what climate the country is in, whether it is hot and dry, warm and humid, cool and humid or cold and dry. Ideally it should be a balancing act of BOTH crops and livestock not just one or the other. Yes the fact that more pounds of grain can feed more people than livestock and less land is used per acre of crop land to feed more people than crops, but humans are not herbivores: they need meat too. A balancing act of both crops and livestock can and should be achieved, where the cattle can be grazed on land that is not suitable for crops and grazed on stubble that crops were grown on previously to add to nutritional levels in the soil. Excess grain that is not needed to feed people (since grain will be grown annually or bi-annually, depending on what climate Avorare is in) can be used to fatten up livestock for slaughter.
