The South “winning” the peace hurt them a bit in the long run. Additional turmoil and Jim Crow was a disincentive for capital to be spent there to rebuild or develop new industries. It’s one reason the region languished while the Northeast and Midwest industrialized, modernized, and became wealthier.

Catch almost any US map graphing the worst criteria economically, medically, socially. It’s easy to find the shadow of the Confederacy.
