Best Answer

The South was the Confederacy - the eleven states that had seceded from the USA.

The North meant all the other states, and these included four states of the Upper South that had remained loyal. But their loyalty was often uncertain (a major worry to Lincoln), and all of them recruited some regiments of Confederates.

What was the connection between the civil war and slavery?

The Civil war started because Lincoln had been voted in on a ticket of no new slave-states. This meant that the South would always be outvoted in Congress, which would pass laws that favoured the North at the expense of the South. So the South broke away, to form a separate nation.


What goal did the republicans have for the south after the civil war?

They arranged it so that men who fought for the South were not allowed to vote after the war. They taxed the south landowners heavily so they almost lost their land that was left. The south was devastated, and the north meant to do everything to take advantage of their horrible situations


What did the North do before the Civil War that the South was not in favor of and vice versa?

The North was increasingly unwilling to admit new slave-states to the Union. This meant that the South was doomed to be outvoted in Congress, and would suffer from the import tariffs that the North favoured in order to protect industry (which was nearly all in the North). The South felt that its cotton wealth would support a breakaway Southern nation, and kept threatening to secede.


Which region was hardest hit during the US Civil War the north or south?

The South was the location of the vast majority of the conflicts, and it was invaded by armies from the North that eventually occupied most of the Confederate states. Blockades of Southern ports eventually crippled the commerce of the South. Also, the greater population of the North meant they had generally larger armies. Only one major campaign was launched into the North, and it ended at Gettysburg.


What were Northern advantages in the Civil War?

The North had all of the factories, as it was more urbanized than the South, which was primarily farm land. This meant that the North had more military arms production capability than the South did. The North also had a larger population at about 22 million, while the South had approximately 9 million. This, obviously, tends to mean a larger military force. These are arguably the two main reasons that the North was able to force the South into surrender.
