1. The outcome of the Civil War resulted in a strengthening of U.S. foreign power and influence, as the definitive Union defeat of the Confederacy firmly demonstrated the strength of the United States Government and restored its legitimacy to handle the sectional tensions that had complicated U.S.

2. SOUTHERN COLONIES ARE MOSTLY MADE UP OF AGRICULTURE AND A LOT OF PLANTATIONS. BECAUSE OF ITS GREAT SOIL IT HAS A LOT OF CASH CROPS. BUT BECAUSE OF ITS SUCCESSFUL FARMING IT NEEDED A LOT OF LABORERS TO DO THE WORK. THIS LEAD TO SLAVERY IN THE SOUTHERN COLONIES.

3. The Middle Colonies were not as cohesive as the New England colonies because colonists in this region were not united by single religion or code of beliefs.
