The north had many advantages over the south in the Civil War:
1)Population-the north had a population advantage of 3.5 to 1
2)Economy-the northern industrial economy was far more superior and advanced than the
poor agrarian economy of the south
3)Navy-the northern navy stopped the south from exporting all its cotton by setting up
a blockade, which didn't allow the south to have any foreign trade
4)Transportation-the north had thousands of miles of railroads which greatly helped
supplies reach the front lines, a factor that the south struggled with.
