Why Was a northern victory inevitable in the civil was?

AnswerThe battle of Gettysburg was probably a final attempt by General Lee and the CSA to turn the war into the south's favor. The North had by this timedemonstrated superiority in numbers and war material production. TheCivil War was over if the Army of Northern Virginia failed to force it's waydeeply into the Northern States. Well, there were many factors that made it easier for the North to win the war. One of the main reasons is because of the South's dependence on cotton and the money it brought in. When the war stated, a main naval strategy was to make a blockade. This made it near impossible for the south to get exports out to Europe. Thus, money was short. Also, supplies could not come into the south because the blockade worked both ways: keeping cotton in and supplies out. Another thing that helped was that the north had a superior navy. It was much easier to get metal for ironclads and gunnery for the north than it was for the south, once again because of the south and there dependence on cotton: the south had plenty of cotton manufacturers, but not many iron or weapon factories at all; all of those were located in the north. So, with much more supplies for ironclads, weapons, and such, and a vastly outnumbering amount of factories, the north had a huge lead in chances of victory. This is not saying the south had no chance at all; they made many important victories; but it does say that the north were a lot more inevitable for a win than the south was.Answered by Bexar BrownSources: My College History Class and Spencer C.
