1)Manpower: They had a significantly larger population.
2)Industry: The North had the vast majority of the industry in the country, very impotent in provisioning an army.
3)Railroads: The North had much more track than the South, and it proved a decisive advantage.
4)Navy: The North had a navy and used it to blockade Southern ports.
5)The south was agrarian, its army would disappear every spring to harvest the crops. To not do so would mean that their families would starve, and there would be nothing to fight for. Northerners had no analogous obligations.

The main reason that the union won is because they got larger and much more factories than the south did, they have large cities, and they are rich.
The main reason that the south lose the war is because they rely on agriculture which would make them weak in a war, they only had a small number of factories which cant reinforce the troops in the front line with enough weapons and explosives. They only had a lot of food, and most of the people from the south lived in small little villages, maybe towns.

Emancipation Proclamation kept England from coming into the war. Up to that part the Civil War had nothing to do with slavery. When Lincoln signed it England had to be consistent with it's anti-slavery stance and could no longer have any support for the Confederacy.
