It gave the North the advantage in manufacturing everything from cannons to bullets to the very buttons on their uniforms. Most iron ore mines were in Northern territory, as well as the smelting plants. Couple this with the rich veins of coal for fuel, oil for heat, and an already trained and ready army, and you must wonder what southerners were thinking.
