What were the norths and souths goals and advntages during civil war?

Goals of the North were to abolish slavery while goals of the South were to keep slavery. The North's advantages were that they had railroads so that they could move equipment etc. round easily while the South didn't have as many and it was more difficult to move supplies, which was a huge factor in the war. The Souths advantages were that they had slaves working for them doing the work while the North did not. Also the North had freed slaves fighting for them as well.


How did the souths economy differ from that of the north?

The South's economy was primarily agrarian, heavily reliant on agriculture, especially cotton, and the use of enslaved labor, which created a plantation-based system. In contrast, the North's economy was more industrialized and diversified, with a focus on manufacturing, trade, and a growing labor force. This economic disparity contributed to differing social structures and political ideologies, ultimately leading to tensions that fueled the Civil War. The North's infrastructure also supported transportation and commerce more effectively than the South's, reinforcing these economic differences.
