The Northern blockade meant the South could not sell its cotton.
During the Civil War, the men were busy fighting. The South sold their cotton to England and the Union was blockading the coast to prevent that. Also General Sherman burned everything in his path to prevent the South from having food or supplies to fight. The South was devastated by the war.

The North had more factories than the South because the South relied on their agricultural based economy.
The north had very little knowledge of the south's land. The south had an extremely poor economy.
The agricultural status of the Southern states was extremely high. Over 80% of the South's economy came from agriculture. Whilst industrially, it was in the dumps, while the North's industrial economy was boosting. That was a huge disadvantage for the South during the civil war.
It was a mess. The south's economy was suffering greatly. It was hard on the South that the war was in their territory and that the North was doing everything it could and using its strong economy and strong followers to win the war.
The North's greatest strength or resource during the Civil War was its industry.
