Yes, it is true that the South had an advantage in terms of its extensive railroad network. Railroads played a crucial role in transporting goods, troops, and supplies during the American Civil War. Additionally, the South's independent states allowed for greater state autonomy, which contributed to their ability to mobilize resources and maintain control over their territory.
