Southern vs. Northern Advantages

The North had a lot more advantages during the war than the south. First they had a bigger population which meant more people (men) could join the army and more nurses (women) could take care of the wounded soldiers. Plus the north was much more industrialized which meant there were more factories that could produce the arms necessary to fight in a war. The north government was already established so it was stable plus they had a navy as well as an army. The north was also alot richer than the south and finally it had many more railroads which could easily transport: troops, supplies, and food. The south had some advantages too , maybe not as many as the North but it still had some. First, the military schoold were located in the south so the soldiers had more skill in fighting in the south than in the north. Also, The fight was mostly located on the south so the southners only had to defend themselves not really attack.
