When the US Civil War began, the North's industrial economy and its own farmlands gave it an advantage over the South. The North's industrial base was largely safe from Confederate attacks. And, its shipyards were also far from danger. The South had virtually no industries at all. It had to build what it could but was heavily dependent on privateers to slip past the Union;s blockade and ship and receive supplies from Europe.

Why did many northerners join the union army at the beginning of the civil war?

The Union armies were against slavery, as one of their key points to fight about, and freed slaves often would join in. Slaves could also usually remain free in the North (thus, the Union Army) and many other slaves wished to be free. If the Union were to win the Civil War, then it was highly likely that slaver would be abolished so many salevs chose to help fight in side with the Union for that reasons.
