How did the confederate's increased control over the southern economy impact the people in the south?

The civil war not only impacted the American society but also the American economy. The American economy was caught in transition. Previously it was only an agricultural economy, but now it was in the initial stages of industrial revolution. This resulted America becoming world’s leading industrial power in the 20th century. But even in the second half of the 19th century, the South was predominantly agricultural. In the south, people saw slavery too. Hence, the south was satisfied with the agricultural economy more than the industrial economy.

explanation: we can only guess at how our actions may be perceived in the future. doing something really big like killing lots of people, saving lots of people, affecting the lives of lots of people is a sure fire way of being remembered in historical records. we can also make a difference in the history records by being a small influence on something bigger, whether that is as a civil servant, scientist or artist.

of course you could argue that we all affect history just as tiny cogs in a   bigger machine.

if you mean how do people influence our opinions of things which have already happened, then simply by writing a book which looks at things form a different perspective and trying to convince people that this perspective is more accurate or truthful. people do it all the time i.e. richard the third was a terrible or was he? plenty would disagree, it's just that their views aren't the most widely known.n:
