Abstract
This theses examines the economic benefits provided by the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 to several of the Union's wartime suppliers. The vigorous trade between Canada and the Union that was facilitated by the treaty provided several supply and logistical benefits to the Union war-effort. That trade helped the Union's industries and agricultural producers provide the Union with a much deeper resource pool than the Confederacy during the American Civil War.
