After the American Civil war between the Union (Northern part of US) and Confederates (Southern part of US) during the period of 1861 to 1865, which is basically as a result of long standing enslavement of black people.

The South were major casualty of the war, many of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems. Eventually the Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and four million black slaves were freed.

While, the North prospered during the war as they were the eventual victor, and a good number of slaves moved upward north for industrial jobs.
