ialized economy some would say the South had lost the war because they were unable to compete with the modernized manufacturing capacity of the North. This new idea of industrialism rubbed of dramatically onto the southern way of life. The South would from that time forward, strive to create a growing economy like the North. With the help of New South enthusiasts, the southern industries increasingly expanded. This increase in industrialism traveled fast and did not stop. With the development of railroads, mass production, and new governmental policies, it was self evident that the future of the United States was headed towards new technology. It is quite imaginable that the United States would be in a totally different state of flux if the past had not been as such. If the outcome of the Civil War had been different I could very well say that it might have taken more time to progress to the governmental system we have today. There is a likely chance that we might have not adopted that system at all! We can all conceive various parallels of outcomes, but we can only definitely contribute the actual effects of the Civil War to the present day situation of the United States. Therefore it is very logical to say that the Civil war did in fact give birth to the Modern United States....
