What were the resources of the Union and How did they compare with those of the Confederacy?
Onner34
The Union had the factories to make everything, including: weapons and ammunition,,, and the confederates had cotton to make clothing for the solders.
the Union had much better and more weapons, but lots of them died from hypothermia, because of the lack of cloths and blankets, the Union would take cloths and blankets from the dead, just to live. The confederates had little on the side of weapons and ammunition, but they had warmth in the cold winters.
Resources favored the north but the South had the advantage of fighting on their own soil therefore knowing how to get around better and, in the beginning, had better leaders.

Did the emancipation proclamation apply to the entire US?
No. It only freed slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately. (Mostly, those that had been captured by Union troops and were being held as "enemy contraband".)

Do you thibk that he emancipation of slaves should have extended to the border states?
No. All the border states were sharply divided between pro-Union and pro-Confederate sentiment. A demand for emancipation would have tipped the balance and sent those states straight into the arms of the Confederacy.
Where was the Emancipation Proclamation applied to slaves?
The Emancipation Proclamation was very carefully worded to not free anyone anywhere at the time of its writing!The Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves inside states in rebellion (i.e. Confederacy) and not controlled by Union troops. These states obviously ignored the Emancipation Proclamation and did not free any slaves. At the time the Emancipation Proclamation was written Union troops did not control any of those states.The Emancipation Proclamation explicitly permitted states that had stayed in the Union to keep their slaves. This was because if the Emancipation Proclamation freed such slaves then these states would probably leave the Union and join the Confederacy. Lincoln could not afford to have that happen!In fact the Emancipation Proclamation was a Propaganda document to encourage European support for the Union, and it was not expected to have any effect on either slave masters or enslaved people.Actually freeing the enslaved people would have to wait until after the war.
How did the Union depend on the Confederacy?
It didn't. The Confederacy was the government formed by those states attempting to leave the Union. The two were at war. Michael Montagne Actually, the Union did depend on the Confederacy. With out the confederacy's contributions to the war and *mistakes* the Union would have never won.

President of 'The Union' - that is, those states of the USA that had not seceded and joined the Confederacy.
Compare advantages the Union had at the beginning of the war to those of the Confederacy?
The Union had a strong manufacturing and industrial base while the South had almost none. The Union contained almost all of the nation's shipbuilding capacity. Chemical handling experience had developed in the North and that is where most of the gunpowder came from. The south would have to start at square one. The South had horses, a military tradition and young men there had grown up as hunters.

Which is bigger the us or the European union?
The European Union is an organisation, not a place, so it does not have a size to compare with. It does have countries as members and if you take the combined area of those countries then the US would be bigger.
Did the emancipation proclamation apply to the entire US?
No. It only freed slaves in the rebellious states. Slaves in states that remained in the Union were not freed by the Emancipation Proclamation, and slaves in states in the Confederacy were technically freed, but since the Union didn't control most of that territory, only a relatively few slaves were actually freed immediately.

What happened to the slave states that stayed in the union when the civil war began?
After a short time they joined the Union side and fought against the Confederacy. However a part of their citizen, especially those of Missouri and Kentucky, enlisted themselves voluntarily in the Confederate Army.
What were the advantages that the union had at the beginning of the war to those of the confederacy?
At the beginning of the Civil War, railroads connected most of the union. They did not connect much of the Confederacy. The Union had more foundries and factories. The Union had far more farmland. The Union had more people. The war would occur in areas controlled by the Confederacy. Both sides saw this as an advantage at first. The Confederacy did not need to change anything. Union factories could change from civilian manufacture to making war materiel. Winchester in Connecticut could switch from making sewing machines to manufacturing rifles. The main advantage was potential rather than actual. While railroad tracks ran all over the Union States, they did not use a standard gage. To manufacture guns at in New England and ship them to illinois, the railroad cars needed to be unloaded or have the wheels replaced. Then they could go on. The union would establish standard gage railroad track so freight could be loaded anywhere and sent anywhere else. That took time. The Union had the Navy. Slowly it took port cities out of the picture. Thus, the Union had the ability to grind slowly away at the Confederacy.
Who were the Americans allies in the civil war?
The confederacy, being mostly an agricultural nation, desperately needed arms and munitions. They had trade relations with the British but those were restricted by the Union's blockade. The British refused to actively participate because the confederacy supported slavery and had yet to win a decisive battle in enemy territory.
