The main advantage of the North was that they had more supplies because they had more factories and farmlands. These were for the most part unreachable by Southern armies. The same was true about Northern shipyards, in Philadelphia, New York and Boston. The North also already had a central government. This was combined by an overwhelmingly larger population as a source for army recruits. The North was also in better position to borrow funds than was the South.

The main advantage of the South was that they had excellent military generals as a result of the strong tradition of military schools. At the beginning of the war, the North did not have as many good generals as the South did.

North

-Factories

-Bigger Population

South

-Knew the land better (most battles were fought in the South)

-Mental Drive (they had a cause and a reason to fight, the North was just trying to fight against them)

Also, the South needed only to fight on the defensive side for the most part. To win independence the South did not need to "conquer" the North, but mainly have the Northern population grwo tired of the conflict.
