war in east
The American Civil War (1861-1865) had more soldiers on the Union side, with estimates suggesting that the Union Army had over 2 million soldiers, while the Confederate Army had around 750,000 to 1.2 million soldiers. The Union had a significant advantage in terms of population, industrial capacity, and resources during the conflict.
The South. Nearly all the battles were on Southern soil, unfamiliar to the enemy, and this was a big advantage, lik a sports team playing better on home ground.
Because neither side was ready. It would take months before the armies were recruited, trained and equipped for operations.
The Union - very much so. It was probably their biggest single advantage - a bigger population from which to recruit armies.
North. South was mainly agricultural.

The North had the factories capable of making supplies and equipment for war.
A "turning point" in a war refers to a battle or series of battles that impact the outcome of the war so intensely that one side has an extreme advantage over the other side.
Some preparation was done before the US joined the war. As you know or may not know, the power of the US in industrial might is a giant advantage to the US. Once factories started up and the basic infrastructure of war production was implemented, the other side practically lost the war already.
The north had more railroad systems, had a huge population advantage so the south was out-numbered, and they had more resources. Theres more than one to choose from for you.
The North - very much so.
They had A Navy Resources Factories More States Probably plenty more but these were the big ones
The Union had far more supplements than the Confederates, giving them, what you think would be, a very large advantage.
Because the pre-war Regular Army had been very small, and neither side had an army or a civil service that was ready to mount operations.
The Union navy had naval superiority during the Civil War.
