How can it be proven that neither the North or the South were prepared for the Civil war?

Simply from their obvious state of unpreparedness when the first shots were fired - Lincoln could only lay hands on 16,000 troops, nearly all of them untrained.
Three months later, at the war's first pitched battle, neither army was anywhere near ready for combat, and it would be a further six months before serious operations could begin.
The point is that neither side had believed that their enemy was in earnest. They thought it was just bluff. And when hostilities did break out, both sides were so confident of winning that they thought it would be a short, largely bloodless war. It turned out to be anything but that.

Which area was more prepared for the US Civil War the North or the South?
The North was more prepared in terms of arms and materiel, but was slow to bring the advantage to bear. The South, with its extensive militia, alerted by John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, were in a more ready state of deployment, especially since much of the officers serving in the peacetime army were southerners.
