Explanation:

• During the Civil War, cities that were competitors to Chicago and did business with Southern cities (which were in conflict) faced difficulties. This gave Chicago an edge.
• The demand from Northern cities (for goods like grain, lumber, clothing, food etc.) led to more business going through Chicago as it was a major transportation and commercial hub.
• The increased business related to the Civil War (such as supplying goods) attracted more people to Chicago, increasing its population.
• Chicago was a Northern city. It did not supply weapons and arms to the South. The South had its own industrial capabilities (though limited compared to the North) and also tried to source from Europe.

Answer:

• cities that were competition to Chicago suffered because they did business with Southern cities
• Northern city demand meant more business (grain, lumber, clothing, food, etc...) went through Chicago
• Chicago's population increased because of Civil War related business
