@Manofgod While the Civil War did affect the United States economically, it didn’t affect it militarily. The country wascstill able to wage war against many Native American confederation, and in a few decades later, was stll capable of taking on other countries such as Spain, Philippines, Mexico and many others. In fact, the War actually advanced the military might of the US. Railroads, repeating rifles, machine guns and telegraph were born from the War.
