The South relied on agriculture, especially cotton and tobacco , and used slave labor to do much of the work. The North concentrated on manufacturing and did not use slave labor.

The North had extensive railroad connections- the South had few railroads.

The Southerners were mostly Protestants of Scotch- English- Northern Irish decent. The North had more diverse backgrounds- people from Germany, Sweden,

Holland, Irish Catholics and elsewhere, as well as the English.

The North had more money and could better equip their forces. The also had a much larger navy.

The population of the south included slaves which account for more than one-third of the south's total how did including slaves in the south's population hide an even greater imbalance between north a?

Including slaves in the South's population count inflated the number of representatives in Congress, as the Three-Fifths Compromise allowed slave states to count three-fifths of their enslaved population for representation purposes. This gave the South a disproportionate political power relative to its free population, masking the significant economic and social disparities between the North and South. Consequently, the South could wield greater influence in national politics, despite having a smaller number of free citizens, further entrenching the imbalance between the two regions.
