North: Better railroads More people from which to draw troops Better and more industry A standing navy South: Better Generalship Better infantry soldiers Better cavalry Fighting on home soil
The North and a more extensive railroad network than did the South during the US Civil War. Northern rail tracks were tat least double the miles of rail lines available to the South. This gave the North a vast advantage in transporting troops and supplies. Although the South had less railroad track, some historians believe that the South utilized what they had in a more efficient way.
During the civil war, the north had numerous resources such as vibrant industry that provided superior weaponry. The North had more manpower than the South.
The North had a greater population and more industry as well as better weapons the south however had more knowledge of the land due to the fact that more battles were fought in the south, better generals, and also the south were fighting for their way of life. note: the last reason isn't necessarily a military reason so much as it is more speculation that they had more drive because of it.
The South
Cause they had more factory and down south was more labor
The North is used for Politics and Economy. The South is used more for the farming industry.
Because the North had all the manufacturing industry. The South only had cotton, which it couldn't export because of the Union blockade.
The South was more agricultural, whereas the North had more factories and heavy industry.
They felt they were being taxed for the benefit of the North. Congress wanted to protect manufacturing industry by raising the tariff on imported goods. As the South had no manufacturing industry, it needed imports much more than the North did. This heightened the North-South argument.
Manpower Ships Artillery Manufacturing industry
North began to develop more industry on commerce. By contrast, the south economy replied on plantation farming.
Slavery disappeared in the north because they used more factories and they were based on industry rather than agriculture like in the south
The third statement is untrue. The Northern advantage in manufacturing industry was most significant, especially in the increasingly mechanised farming techniques.

I could go on and on with this, but to keep it simple: -the north had more industry than the south -therefore, the north could produce more weapons and clothing -the north also had a vast railroad network-that allowed them to transport troops and supplies quicker -the north also had a good telegraph system-Lincolon could issue direct orders Those are some of the factors the north had going for them, so even if the south was very determined, they could not beat the north on industry, and that is probably why they lost the war.
