Draft: High Society Life influenced the Civil War by plantation life having free slave labor. NORTH: "Government purchases for military needs military needs stimulatedmanufacturing and agriculture." "Congress passed the national banking system, a standard currency, and the Department of Agriculture.

SOUTH: "As resources were used up and the tightening naval blockade got worse severly reduced imports, matters got worse so the Confederate government then passed the Impressment of 1863. The north had more supplies and was more ready for the war than the south. The south was not so successful, they just seemed to do the wrong things. The soliders had a hard time living in the hard condiions. No shoes, food, and hardly little clothing was tough. They depended on friends for amusement. Luxury for them was someone who had shoes, more clothing, and some meat on their bones. The first 5 describe various aspects of camp life--clothing, housing, marching, work and play. They loved amusement and enjoyed recieving letters from family. They didnt have much but what they did they treausured. Pictures of family and letters they loved. "The big house, usually a two or three-storied mansion, was a visible symbol of the planters wealth. Coming in from the front porch, a wide entrance hall might lead into a dining room, a parlor, a library, and one or more sitting rooms. In these rooms a planter could display his wealth with European furnishings and imported artwork. On the upper floors, bedrooms for family members and guests were maintained with the most comfortable and luxurious decor available. Nurseries for planters children were located on the uppermost floors and could be reached by the servants stairs at the back of the house." Spending money was something the wealthy people like farmers and inherited people did not do alot. Only successful business owners spent money like no other. Five major trends dominated American economic, social, and political life during this period. First was the Market Revolution, Second was American society, third political issues, fourth states rights issues, and fifth westward expansion .Times back then were tough on the frontier life. the nation was transformed from an underdeveloped nation of farmers and frontiersmen into an urbanized grown community."According to the 1860 census, the wealthiest head of a household (twenty-seven households were counted with holdings worth $5000 or more in real and personal estates) was Robert A Chapman, a merchant who in 1859 built the handsome brick block on Broad Street (owned in 1983 by BHS life members Gordon and Mary Gillies)." "Close behind were Ira Crocker Kimball, also a merchant, with holdings of $25,000, and Moses Pattee, a mill owner and proprietor of a hall on Spring Street that was the center of Bethel's social and political life during this era. Pattee had holdings worth $18,000. Most of the others were farmers, except for physician Joshua Fanning, whose property was valued at $8000." "The Civil War had a profound effect on nearly all aspects of life in Wisconsin. All residents, regardless of whether they became a part of the Union effort, felt the repercussions of war. After the financial shock of early 1861 resulting from the secession of the Southern states, the Civil War brought economic prosperity to Wisconsin". This impacted the Winconsion by ways of the war and how they lived The enslavement of African Americans in what became the United States formally began during the 1630s and l640s. The history of African American slavery in the United States can be divided into two periods: the first coincided with the colonial years, about 1650 to 1790; the second lasted from American independence through the Civil War, 1790 to 1865 People who owned or had slaves as property were known to be rich and or welathy.This was if you were a plantation owner/farmer of wealthy from generation to generation "At the top of European society a new upper class formed as big business took shape, representing a partial amalgam of aristocratic landowners and corporate magnates.""The upper class in modern capitalist societies is often distinguished by the possession of largely inherited wealth." I think that since their were only some very successful people that they were more happy and better during the war because if theyre was in captureing from both sides they could just pay their way out and/or keep them quiet."As in the North, manufacuring and agriculture in the South wer adapted to the needs of war"."By the end of war prices in the South were 10 ties higherthan they were at the start" The South was having a tough economic time during the Civil War duesupplies and reources bbeing bought. The North was not having too much of a tough time because of their winning and success "Southerners had to make their clothes or carpets and curtians and print newspaper on the back of wallpaper."
