There are many advantages and disadvantages of the North and South during the Civil War. Today I'm going to talk about the advantages of each. The North has a big population that makes a bigger army which I think is a huge advantage because there's more people to fight against. The North also had Abraham Lincoln as their decisive leader. He was strong and lead the North to success. More supplies I think would have helped them too, because having more supplies would help the soldiers have more food, more bullets and weapons, and stay healthy.

Being on your own territory would be a huge advantage during war only because you would know the layout of your land and the terrains. That was an advantage for the South. The South has more experiance with weapons and guns. That's probably because the South has more farm land. When you have more farm land, there's more hunting. That gives you more practice with weapons. Another advantage of the South was their climate. They were use to the hot climate when the Northeners were use to a more cool and dry climate which could've caused dehydration for the Northeners.
