Three cities were particularly devastated and burned. These were Atlanta, Georgia, Columbia, South Carolina and Richmond, Virginia. These cities were largely rebuilt and thriving again, due to the factors which had caused them to be built in the first place, within twenty years. Atlanta especially had a miraculous recovery. It had only been founded in 1837, but had 25,000 inhabitants by the time of the war, and over five million in the metro area today.
Other areas, such as the sixty-mile wide swath of destruction wrought by Sherman from Atlanta to Savannah, and the "Burnt District" of four western Missouri counties, took longer to return to any semblance of prewar normalcy.
But the entire south was impoverished by the war, and this persisted for more than one hundred years. The south went from being the wealthiest portion of the country to the poorest, and this did not begin to improve until the second half of the twentieth century. Only as industry fled the unionized states of the old "rust belt" north to the more business-friendly "right to work" states of the south did decent jobs appear in the south. Beofre that generally only agriculture, and low-paying textile and furniture industries offered employment. Sadly, most of these "new" jobs have gone again, to some foreign nation offering even cheaper labor. Some parts of the south have never seen a return to prosperity since the war.

What was the impact of the Civil War on the us?
Federalism. Strong cental government once and for all exercising its abilities to make states conform to a centralized interpretation of the constitution. (Actually historically more important then ending slavery which, even Lincoln believed, would have died as an institution itself given time). Up until the Civil War, self determination of the states was more important than a strong central government. Many times during the 20th century the federal government was able to induce states to change inherently unjust situations by the force of the strong federal government(and the National Guard). This is most seen during the civil rights movement. That would have been unheard of prior to the Civil War.
