Answer:

  • It improved.

Step-by-step explanation:

There was extraordinary wealth in the South, however it was essentially tied up in the slave economy. In 1860, the economic value of slaves in the United States surpassed the contributed estimation of the majority of the country's railways, manufacturing plants, and banks. On the eve of the Civil War, cotton costs were at a record-breaking high.
