5 major effects the civil war had on the american south

Many of the railroads in the South had been destroyed. Farms and plantations were destroyed, and many southern cities were burned to the ground such as Atlanta, Georgia and Richmond, Virginia (the Confederacy's capitol). The southern financial system was also ruined. After the war, Confederate money was worthless.

the answer would be logic.

nothing certain is known about what happened, but it seems that the country declined gradually, perhaps due to bad government, or, more likely, due to a series of bad harvests, which resulted in widespread and recurrent famine.
