The north had many factories and rail roads, making them far more advanced then the south. Britain however depended more on the south than the north because they needed cotton and the south was who supplied it. Tax was far better in the North too, it went up 80% during the Civil War. Which was better than the souths 9000%. Think about a gumball being $450. That's partially why the south was defeated my the north.
