Jockeying for Political Advantages
Impact on the South
There were important impacts of the Civil War on the South . The main impact is , of course , the end of slavery . The economy of the South was heavily dependent on cotton farming , which was tended by black slaves With slavery gone , the Southern States had to look for alternative means in which to support the Southern economy . In addition to that , another important disadvantage that the South experienced is the devastation of fields , homes , and railroad tracks (Henrietta , David Dumenil , 2001
On the part of Black Americans in the South , they became emancipated from slavery and they began exercising their freedom and although there were still important issues that they have to surmount , they became active participants in the development of society
Impact on the North
Through the Civil War , the North 's view of liberty became more defined through the emancipation . The Thirteenth Amendment was approved by Congress and became part of the social fabric of the United States . The economic model of industrialization practiced by the North also became the dominant mode in the country . This is another advantage for the North
The disadvantage , perhaps , was the way in which ammunitions and fire arms became prevalent in the North . Military equipment became an entrenched business in the North . On the other hand , Black Americans from both the North and South joined the Union Army and were initiated to the road of improvement of their lives . Perhaps the most important advantage achieved by the Civil War through Lincoln 's leadership is the freedom gained by 4 million Black American slaves in 1865.
