=//__**Effects on the North**__//=

During the war, the North lost 364,000 soldiers. Many of the men died of diseases, illnesses, but not on the battlefield. However, the Northern economy actually benefited from the war. The factories in the North were producing more than ever before, and people were buying items made in America (North) due to the high tariffs place on imports.

Many of the people who once lived on farms were now living in cities. The Northern cities grew rapidly. Before the war, people in the North had to do a lot of things for themselves that they could now purchase. One example is, Northerns could go to the bakery for bread instead of baking at home.
