[QUOTE="Bakin, post: 38024003, member: 161246"] Economically. The only thing the South ever produced was cotton. I don't think Fruit of the Loom is one of the backbone companies of the United States. The Mississippi River is about the only thing of serious value that the North would have needed. The war was more of an attempt to keep the Union together and keep even more states from just leaving when they were displeased by the Federal government than anything else. The North had the railroads, good farmland, industry, money, and government. The South had red clay soil and cotton. Oh, and tobacco. Texas had oil, but during the mid 19th century that didn't mean too much. Wow, are you a professional historian? [/QUOTE]
