The North's big advantage in the war was that it controlled the Southern ports. Towards the end, they also separated the South in two.

If England had sent supplies to the South, it would have been greatly appreciated. Also, having more soldiers is always a good thing.
Male and (these days) female soldiers alike are called soldiers! Women were not, however, permitted to join the army in the era of the US civil war.
