The North has many advantages over the South such as:
* Better organized military. * They controlled almost, if not all of the railroads, making transportation of troops easier. * Larger population in the North meant a higher availability for troops. * The North was able to produce more weapons and other technologies because of industrialization that had happened in the North that hadn't happened in the South as much. * The Union was a internationally recognized government while the South was not, allowing it to get loans and other trade benefits.

The Union, the so-called Northern States had at least five advantages over the South in the US Civil War: 1. The North had a solid and growing industrial base; 2. The North had a large enough naval fleet to make significant blockades on many Southern seaports; 3. The North had a larger population and thus were able to replace and increase the number of troops in its army; 4. The Confederacy was unable to mount any successful offensives in the North. Thus most of the battles were in the South and for the most part the South was in a defensive mode; and 5. The North had a larger and more modern railway system than the South. Although the South made better use of their own railway systems, the larger system in the North was still an advantage.
