Much bigger population from which to recruit armies.
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.
A+ The leaders of the North and South believed the war would be brief.
The South's greatest advantage in the US Civil War was the fact that it would be defending its own territory. It was important to know the Southern terrain, to know its own liabilities, and be in a position to correct them before the Union knew the weaknesses existed.
The north had destroyed it and the north and the south had a huge argument on who would rebuild the whole mess and who would pay for the damages,
A Korean Civil War would pit Koreans against Koreans.
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.
At the start of the Civil War, those Americans who favored the North to win would most certainly have been thinking of several key factors. For one, the North had over double the population of the South; thus, the North's military forces would at least double those of the South. For another thing, the North possessed an absolute advantage over the South both in respect to industrial capacity and naval forces.

It sounds like the Missouri Compromise, where slavery would be permitted 'not north' of Missouri's Southern border.
The leaders of the North and South believed the war would be brief.
The main advantage of the South during the US Civil War was that each side was fighting for a different goal. In order to reunite the US, the Northern army had to crush all resistance from Confederate forces. The advantage for the South was that for them it was primarily a defensive war and to win their independence, they hoped that Northern citizens would grow tired of the war and the loss of their soldiers' lives.
A+ The leaders of the North and South believed the war would be brief.
Only the leaders of the North thought the war would be so brief.
At the start of the Civil War, the North had some advantageous resources that would benefit them in the course of the Civil War. Perhaps one of the greatest advantages they had over the South was their economy. The diverse and flourishing agriculture and industry of the North made it able for them to last a much longer war than the South were able to. The strong federal government under Lincoln insured the unity of the states, as opposed to the weak confederacy of the South. The population of the North was also much greater than the South, having almost three times as many inhabitants as the Confederate states. The North had the great advantage of financial backing. The North was rich in money and able to fund the war efforts without as much financial trouble as the South encountered. Finally, the North had the advantage of an antislavery morale. They had a cause, a moral obligation that many abolitionists sought to spread throughout the remaining states of the Union. All in all, the North most likely had a much larger advantage over the South in terms of a long, drawn-out battle.
