If I can recall, the North had the most advantages when the Civil War began in 1861. Mainly because:

1. The North had thousands of more railroads for transporting goods than the South, which caused a huge problem for the Confederates later on.

2. The North had more factories, and they could produce their own goods rather than buying them, but the Confederates had to buy supplies.

3. The North had a larger population than the South, and a ready army and navy to fight.

4. The North had already established a Commissary Department (The Food Supplier for the troops), whereas the South had not when it seceded from the Union. It meant that the Confederate troops would face starvation later on if their Commissary Department failed to get enough food.
