Economic

=Northern Economy=

The North will have just continued on with its industries and eventually develop corporations and continue normally without the South. Industrialization only continued due to the fact that it was much more profitable than an agrarian economy just as the South had made before the Civil War and that it provides a higher standard of living with all of the tools and devices made. It would make them much more technologically advanced as they go higher and higher up in terms of a civilization.



=Southern Economy=

The South had two scenarios to choose from:

Scenario 1: They could have remained having an **agrarian economy**. Pros: Cons:
 * Slaves would be necessary then.
 * Pollution would be low, benefiting their health by a bit.
 * Profit compared to a industrial economy are extremely lower.
 * Germs and diseases were a threat as the need to go outside was large.
 * Bugs could easily wipe out the crops without a proper pesticide making factory.
 * Harvests only happen for one period of a year, instead of the continuous profit industries made.

Keeping an agrarian economy may be much worse than having an industrial economy, it would be hard for them to keep importing technology instead of just making it themselves and that there are more cons associated with this type of economy.



Scenario 2: The South could have done what is has in history and become an **industry-based economy**. This raises one major question since the South won the Civil War. What about slavery? It would only make sense to abolish slavery despite this being their reason to fight the Union, but what was still more important was their independence from the North.

=Abolishing slavery would have more benefits:=
 * 1) The thought of rebellions are no longer there.
 * 2) They saved some cash since keeping a slave in a house and feeding them is much more expensive than paying them a dollar a day.
 * 3) Every developed nation abolished slavery, why not go with the flow?



Finally since the South has its own economy (and government) what would its currency be? Maybe it will be based off of this picture:
