What affects did the south had after the civil war

The south lost the civil war and eventually had to free their slaves but then even after this was set in place either they did not let their slaves go still or the slaves stayed anyway because they had no where else to go no job, health, or food source. Help that helps.

The economic consequences of the American Civil War (1861–1865) are largely due to Northern control of the federal government during and for several decades after the War. During the sectional debates over the tariff and the expansion of slavery that characterized the thirty years before the War, the North had been forced to forgo or compromise several of its national economic policy objectives because of Southern opposition and the strong position the Southern states held in the Senate. As soon as the Southern states seceded and the legislators resigned their seats in Congress, the legislators from the North and West began enacting this delayed agenda, while simultaneously prosecuting the War. Northern victory in the War insured their continuing control of the federal government and implementation of their economic policies.

Hope this helps.
