PLEASE HELP! IM VERY CONFUSED

Describe how the economy changed in Texas after the start of the Civil War. Describe changes in food, goods, supplies, transportation, and agriculture?

Agriculturally, cotton gave way to food crops to feed the troops – corn and rice were prevalent. Successful Union blockades halted imports of goods, which resulted in shortages in salt, coffee beans, shoes, clothing, farm machinery, and paper, for example. The Confederacy attempted to smuggle these goods and others through Mexico, but most Southerners went without or made substitutes. The South had few factories, so states like Texas chartered big corporations to build factories to produce needed supplies; however, only a few factories were actually built at this time. Production stopped on the building of the railroads, and roads and bridges throughout the South were left in disrepair. The trains that existed stopped running, leaving transportation throughout Texas difficult.

Hope this Helps!
