Best Answer

At the start of the American Civil War, it was the North that had "dominance" (or, a strong advantage) in foreign trade. While the South's cotton was a primary export crop for the United States before the war, it was Northern merchants who handled the vast majority of the shipping between markets, just as the ships themselves were typically constructed by Northern ship-builders.
