Amendment XIII (13) abolished slavery, which was a huge factor of the Southern United States' economy.
The Southern United States relied on slaves to work many large plantations and farms the grew primarily cotton, but also grains, tobacco, and many other cash crops.
The 13th amendment also did not repay slave owners for their slaves; many plantation owners were now left with huge plots of land and no one to work them, and their whole lives' worth of investments (their slaves) were gone. Slaves were very expensive -- nearing $1750, which would be the equivalent of around $40,000 in today's money.
