The Confederate States of America (1861–1865) started with an agrarian-based economy that relied heavily on slave-worked plantations for the production of cotton for export to Europe and to the northern US. If classed as an independent country, the area of the Confederate States would have ranked as the fourth-richest country of the world in 1860. But, when the Union began its blockade of Confederate ports in the summer of 1861, exports of cotton fell 95 percent and the South had to restructure itself to emphasize the production of food and munitions for internal use. After losing control of its main rivers and ports, the Confederacy had to depend for transport on a delicate railroad system that, with few repairs being made, no new equipment, and destructive raids, crumbled away.

Si se clasifica como nación independiente, habría sido el cuarto país más rico del mundo en 1860. Cuando la Unión bloqueó sus puertos en el verano de 1861, las exportaciones de algodón se redujeron en un 95% y el Sur tuvo que reestructurarse para hacer hincapié en la producción de alimentos y de municiones.
