While population was an issue, and the North had an advantage, it was resources that was the biggest challenge. The Northern naval blockade of the South isolated the Confederacy and limited their ability to get weapons and other materials from outside that really choked them off.

As for the Confederacy, they were more reluctant, but eventually approved using black soldiers as the Confederacy was vastly outnumbered by the Union soldiers and Union-made weaponry.
