Why did the south rely on rivers for transportation during the Civil War?

The South relied on rivers for the transportation during the civil war because the South did not have as many railroads as the North.

The American Civil War was a fight in the United States spanned from 1861 to 1865, between the North and the South. During this armed conflict railroads, the telegraph, steam and iron ships, and mass-produced weapons were massively implemented. But the South did not count on those innovations as the North did.

both are true, the congress does have the power to create banks, even if this power is not specifically described in the constitution, since there is nothing restricting it and there is power given to the congress to make "all laws which shall be necessary and proper". maryland was not allowed to tax a branch of the national bank operating there, and the supreme court decided that no state could. both of these topics were discussed in a decision of the mcculloch v. maryland case in 1819.

an economic reason that the south needed a reconstruction plan is that plantations, factories, and other businesses were destroyed during the war.
