A much larger population from which to raise armies, a vastly larger industrial capacity with which to supply those armies, several times the amount of railroad mileage upon which to transport those armies and supplies to the battle fronts and incredibly more money with which to pay for it all. Michael Montagne North had a greater advantage because there were more volunteers to help such as: 130,000 signed up but only 100,000 could fight. Therefore there were more supporters at home during the war! North had a greater advantage because there were more volunteers to help such as: 130,000 signed up but only 100,000 could fight.

they had more troops than the south.
NORTH usually. to the south or Canada
at first the south had an advantage but it turned tables when the south started running out of amunition and the north had all the industries back then so south had no way of getting weapons so i would say the north was more powerful when the south ran out of amunition
The North had two disadvantages. As the invading army, they lacked detailed knowledge of the local terrain, and most of the experienced professional officers were Southern, meaning that, at the beginning of the war, the North lacked leadership.
AnswerThe south had an advantage because they knew what they were fighting for whereas the North wasn't quite sure. The south was fighting for their way of life. They were fighting because they didn't want to give their slaves up and they wanted their own government to be able to rule themselves. They didn't agree with the Democratic ways of the North's judicial system. the north was a free land but the south oh boy the south they had many strong beliefs in slavery
The South had better generals than the North did at the time.
The South was fighting in its own territory.
The home field advantage
wealth and manpower
The North had a 81% Advantage in bank deposits to indicate for the North over the South who had only 19%.
The US had been split into the Union (North) and the Confederacy (South)
No advantage. SC is backwards - NC is not. There is no comparison!
The south had a labor advantage over the north
One under appreciated advantage was the railway system, the north had a much vaster railway network that they contiuned to add to throughout the war and they used it to devestating effect. Where as the south didn't extend theirs anywhere near enough. The result being that the north could move troops and supplies around alot faster than the south. Not necessarily a war winner, but a massive advantage, no the less.
The North had the factories capable of making supplies and equipment for war.
The South had superior generals. It also had a powerful patriotism and a belief in the justice of its cause.
In the US Civil War, the North had a larger population and a larger industrial base with which to manufacture weapons. The opportunity of emancipating slaves and recruiting them into the army of the North was also a strategic advantage (as well as a moral advantage).
