South vs. North Advantages

SOUTH

Southerners had lots of fertile land which made it easier to grow crops. Yet, all of this was worked by the slaves, therefore the Southerners didn't have much work to do. They also had a lot of military colleges. This is a great advantage because they were more trained than the Northerners. They also exported cotton to most countries thus adding to their economic advantage. Finally, the last advantage was that the civil war was fought in the South so they didn't have to waste energy traveling to fight.

NORTH

Northerners had more factories and industries which added to their economic growth. Most of them worked in factories which developed the production faster. They also had more military devices such as guns. Population also grew because there were more jobs offered to them therefore they would seize the opportunity and that added to its growth. With more people, the army grew bigger, which led more power to the North.
