Economy during the Civil War
The South, with its heavy reliance upon agriculture, was hit hard by the destruction of their farms and infrastructure. The Union also blocked crucial Southern ports which crippled trade and led to supply shortages.
Farming became more mechanized as farmers left home to enlist in the army. The transportation sector boomed, and by the end of the war the Union had the world's largest railroad system.
The industrial and economic capacity of the Union soared during the war, with increased production in nearly every sector of their economy.
In 1862, the first income tax was established in the Union by President Lincoln to deal with the rising national debt.
Andrew Johnson

Andrew Johnson vetoed the Reconstruction Acts that provided suffrage for male freedmen and military administration of the Southern states.
Andrew Johnson dismissed from office Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton to provide a court test of the Tenure of Office Act’s constitutionality. For this and other reasons, the House of Representatives voted articles of impeachment against the president—the first such occurrence in U.S. history.
