Question

why was the north stronger in the civil war(1861-1865)? how was life in both the north and south changed by the war

Answer 1

I believe the reason the North was stronger was because the North had more industry than the South. The North was better suited for tooling and manufactoring for war supplies while the south was more suited for farming. In the end I believe the Norths ability to keep producing war supply wore the South down because they were unable to keep up with the demands of the war.

As far as changes after the war it would take to long to list then all.

Answer 2

Two conditions led to the Civil War: the existence of slavery and the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.From the time the Southern Colonies insisted upon the insertion of pro-slavery language into the US Constitution,the clock to civil war began to tick.The only way for the war to have been avoided was for the Northern states to allow the Southern states to leave the Union.Obviously,that was not very likely.There is an argument that the Civil War was ordained by God.For a nation that espoused human freedom in its founding documents to allow such an odious institution as slavery was an affront to the Almighty and He intended to deal with the situation.A close study of the battles during the war can lead one to conclude a powerful hidden hand was aiding the Union cause.

Answer 3

I'm not sure if these numbers are exact, but the North had about 22,000,000 people, while the South had about 9,000,000. On top of that, 4,000,000 of them were slaves, who wouldn't be fighting.
