The Union, the so-called Northern States had at least five advantages over the South in the US Civil War:
1. The North had a solid and growing industrial base;
2. The North had a large enough naval fleet to make significant blockades on many Southern seaports;
3. The North had a larger population and thus were able to replace and increase the number of troops in its army;
4. The Confederacy was unable to mount any successful offensives in the North. Thus most of the battles were in the South and for the most part the South was in a defensive mode; and
5. The North had a larger and more modern railway system than the South. Although the South made better use of their own railway systems, the larger system in the North was still an advantage.
