The North had a larger population, AND a large chunk of the population in the South were slaves. In 1860, only white males could vote. Larger population = more votes, which means victory.

The person above me is wrong. Our nation's elections are not determined by popular vote, they are determined by the electoral collegngfgnngfhdcsfehgbjgjhvfhgfe. There have been several instances that a president won the election without having the popular vote.

Why was it certain that the North would win the US Civil War?

I wouldn't say that it was certain that the North would win; the outcome of a war, like the outcome of a baseball game, is seldom certain. But the North did have both a larger population and a larger industrial capacity, so it was very unlikely that the North could have lost.
