Industry's impact on the Civil War:

1. Both sides made use of railroad and steamboats for mobilizing troops and shipping supplies.

2. The North's heavier industrialization enabled it to produce weapons at a faster rate.

3. The use of telegraph technology allowed wartime communication to happen at an accelerated rate of speed.

The Civil War's impact on industrialization:

The war accelerated and advanced industrialization and the building of railroads, as well as the invention and use of new types of weapons. Eventually industrial technology would take over more and more aspects of agricultural production previously done by slave labor. The cotton gin had already accelerated the processing of cotton. The cotton picker (for harvesting cotton), became commercially viable by the mid-20th century.
