Question

What advantages did the north have fighting the civil war? That's all I need to know. Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

The North had more railroads, more factories which means more food and ammunition, a greater population, and a good navy

Answer 2

Two big ones.

The North had a much larger industrial base. That means the supply line was almost unlimited, especially since there wasn't much fighting in the North. More guns, more ammo, more food, more of almost everything. That's a big help over four years.

Meanwhile, the South was starting from scratch. It takes a while to get everything up and running, and there are always mistakes in start-ups.

The South probably had more passion for its cause among the people, and that was important in stretching out the length of the war. But there was no way to win a war of attrition.

Answer 3

The North's reason for combating for the 1st 2, and all the years of the Civil conflict, replaced into the suppression of the insurrection. The South's reason for combating the 1st 2 years, and all the years of the Civil conflict, replaced into to maintain its status because of the fact the accomplice States of us of a of america (which secure the protection of their "components", or slaves, in its shape). The North had the income of a bigger inhabitants, greater components, and diplomatic relatives with different countries. The South's purely reward have been its large territory, the ingenuity of people who had to get via with much less components, and its funds crop "King Cotton."

Answer 4

the north was more industrial and also had more farms-nicknamed wheat kingdom-while the south had more plantions-cotton kingdom
During the period of the civil war the south believed they would get help from the british because britain during this period was in a depression-but as it turns out wheat was more vital then cotton therefore the british sided with the north-the north also had a exponential amount of troops due to the massive amounts of immigrants living in New York in particuler-while the south had less troops-North also had more railroads vital for the transport of goods-these factors together helped contribute to the Union Victory

Answer 5

Money, Industry, Money, Population, Money, and then of course, Money. The North had the finacial support of the American government and the use of industry located in the North as well as a larger population from which to draw soldiers.

Answer 6

The North was backed by the President and, I assume, had more money & goods to provide for it's soldiers.

Answer 7

They wore shoes, therefore they didn't have as many cases of hookworms, like the south.
