Natural resources, population explosion, free enterprise, government support and new inventions were the five factors fueled US industrialization during the Post Civil War period.

The government supported industrialization after the Civil War by protective tariff- protected American industries from European industries by raising import taxes. And by removing Native Americans (Wounded Knee, Sand Creek Massacre).

Vanderbilt, John D. Rockefeller, J.P Morgan and Andrew Carnegie were known as Captains of Industry or Robber Baron during the Industrial Period.

Captains of Industries provided jobs and gave back by donating money to charities. Robber Barons also gave significant amount of money to charities.

Working conditions: working 10-14 hours 6 days a week with no paid vacation or holidays and safety hazards. Child labor: children being heavily employed put in dangerous tasks were some of the negative results of the Industrial Period.

Gibran  north and south economic differences 

# data[].attributes.body
Before the civil war the economy in both the north and the south was very different, the north had a lot of industrialization which gave it a great advantage over the south who's economy was mostly based on cash crops and based on slavery. therefore the north had more manufacture goods ( this would help them win the war).

These  difference in the economy were the reason why the war started. The north wanted to end slavery which would cause the South's economy to drop, but the south wasn't about to let that happen so in 1861 the south seceded to protect its right to slavery.
