Prior to the civil war, Industry was evolving and Northern factories were booming. The Industrial Revolution was in full swing, and with machines taking the place human work, products were being produced, quicker, and more effectively. People were becoming more involved in the economy, and northern citizens flocked to cities in search of new opportunities. New inventions including interchangeable parts, steamboats, and the cotton gin were making production increasingly easy.
