Though both areas suffered from the war, the North fared much worse than the South.

Explanation

Both the North and South faced difficulties after the Civil War, but the South was more severely damaged. Much of its farmland, railroads, and cities had been destroyed, and it also had to rebuild its economy and society after slavery ended. The North suffered losses and economic disruption, but its infrastructure and economy were far less devastated. Therefore, the best statement is that the South fared much worse than the North.
