Describe the advantages and disadvantages of the North and South in the beginning of the Civil War.

Disadvantages in the South included: (1) no means of insuring future supplies, (2) no industrial base, and (3) small population.
- The North also had several advantages: (1) they had a larger population (4 times more than the South), (2) they had a large industrial base to manufacture war materials, (3) they had a rail system to transport troops and supplies. The North did have the disadvantage of having to attack rather than defend.
