Ruined it.

The Union Naval blockade stopped the South from exporting its plentiful cotton in exchange for war-supplies.

Selling tothe enemy was strictly banned (though this law wasnot very strictly enforced).

And the Confederate dollar was not based on assets, but merely on the promise of Southern victory. By the end of 1864, it was only worth 5 cents.

The South remained in a miserably poor state for a few years after the war, having paid a high price for its earlier arrogance in defying the United States.
