The Cost of the Civil War

What did the civil war cost America?

The civil war cost America two things:

  1. Lives

  2. Money

  • The civil war devastated the infant country. It was a war between American citizens, where sons were fighting fathers, brothers fighting brothers.

The physical devastation of the South was enormous: burned homes, loss of crops and farm animals, ruined buildings and bridges, neglected roads pillaged countryside.
