Overall, the cost of the war was significantly higher for the South than for the North, due to several reasons.

First of all, it was the South that relied the most on slavery. As slavery was outlawed, the South had a shortage of labor.

Another reason is the fact that the North had industries that allowed them to be more effective during the war and to continue to be functional afterwards. On the other hand, the South relied on agriculture, which was difficult to conduct while the war was going on.

Moreover, after the war ended, many former slaves migrated to the South in order to try to find better opportunities. This meant that the population in the South decreased, leading to a shortage of workers.

Finally, the South was also deeply affected in terms of their pride and identity, which had important consequences in social and political terms.

in the 1800s, chinese workers migrated to the united states, first to work in the gold mines, but also to take agricultural jobs, and factory work, especially in the garment industry. chinese immigrants were particularly instrumental in building railroads in the american west, and as chinese laborers grew successful in the united states, a number of them became entrepreneurs in their own right. as the numbers of chinese laborers increased, so did the strength of anti-chinese sentiment among other workers in the american economy. this finally resulted in legislation that aimed to limit future immigration of chinese workers to the united states, and threatened to sour diplomatic relations between the united states and china.
