How did the economy of the south change after the civil war?

1) The South lost the war. 2) They lost their slaves, who were set free by President Lincoln. 3) Cotton, their main economy, was no longer important to the world. 4) Many parts of the South were ravaged by the war. 5) Many Southerns were killed or maimed for life. 6) Many Southerners refused to accept the fact they lost the war and would spend the rest of their lives unable, or unwilling, to start over. 7) The economy of the South before the war was dependent on agriculture and it took a long time for it to recover. 8). The currency of the South during the war was different from the dollars of the North, and it took a long time after the war ended for Southerners to earn an adequate amount from Union money. 9) Many Southerners fled the South and went West or North, looking to start over, rather than trying to rebuild the South.
