Can you explain what were the changes the Civil War brought to civilian society in both the North and the South?

Here is my take on
the changes to civilian society in both North and South brought by the outcome of the American
War of 1861-1865.

The entire nation was set upon a course to
industrialization.  The family farm was set upon a course to destruction because people are more
valuable to industry if they are standing in line at the factory door begging for a job,  (The
more people who seek jobs, the lower are the wages that the factory must pay.) than if they are
making a living by themselves on a farm.  (I speak of farming for family subsistance.)  Thus has
evolved a body of regulations and tax structures that make the family farm unprofitable.  Farms,
to be approved of by our industrial and corporate managers must be producing for market needs. 
Production for family subsistance is not allowed.  Hence the reason that so much good land is
idle in the United States, land on which individual families could be leading a superior (though
not wealthy) life-style.

And what of the small businessman?  The small
businessman has fared better under industrialization and corporate big business than the
subsistance farmer.  This is because the small businessman is the most productive segment of
society, and the taxes paid by small business are drawn upon to subsidize corporate big
business.  Thus, small business is allowed to survive to the extent that it is needed for a tax
farm.  Big business has never been content to survive on its own earnings; it has always sought
to transfer wealth created by other segments of society into its own pockets; that is what, in
my opinion, distinguishes capitalism from private enterprise.  If the small business sector gets
too big relative to the need it fulfills as a tax farm, tax structures and regulations beat it
down, so that those small business employees excess to the need are forced into the job line at
the factory door.
