Prior to the US Civil War, the Southern economy was primarily based on its cotton crop. This was a major plus for the entire US economy in 1860 for example. Cotton was shipped to Europe and also to Northern textile mills.

How did the South's economy put it at a disadvantage in the US Civil War?
Prior to the US Civil War, the US as a nation prospered with the large agricultural production in the South. Northern textile mills for example had easy access to cotton. Excess crop production in the South was great for the US' balance of trade. The Civil War however, changed everything. With no strong industrial base, the South had to try import finished products. It also had few safe harbors in which to build ships, cargo or warships. They relied on foreign powers like Britain for example to build cruiser type war vessels. The North, on the other hand not only had a strong industrial base but they also had a strong wheat capacity which fed them and allowed also for exports abroad.
