One advantage was their superior industrial capacity, but the North also had a much larger population with which to replenish their losses.
A Navy big enough to blockade the Southern ports, making it impossible for the Confederacy to export its cotton in exchange for war supplies.
An exceptionally talented President who could control a troublesome cabinet of heavyweights who had been better-known than him, and eventually learned to choose and use the best Generals.
In the US Civil War, the South had a number of advantages. Perhaps one of the best ones was the fact that they did not have to conquer the North to win. Their goal for independence would come when the North no longer wished to continue the conflict.

During the American Civil War, the North enjoyed numerous advantages over the South from the start of the conflict onward. One particularly significant advantage that it did not have, however, was the luxury of remaining on the defense. In order to achieve its war-aims, the North would need to take the offensive and invade Southern territory.
The North had a big enough navy to blockade the Southern ports and starve the Confederacy of imports.

Prior to the formal outbreak of the American Civil War, a variety of developments gave the North a decided advantage over the South once hostilities erupted. A larger population (and thus the potential for a larger army) was one advantage. Tremendously greater industrial capacity along with a sophisticated and more numerous navy (and merchant fleet) were two others. The existence of an organized and operational federal administrative body was yet another advantage.
