Railroads

The union had 75% of the railroads, making the transportation of weapons and other supplies much easier

Larger Population

The population means that there is more options to help fight, and to produce weapons, and transport what needs to be transported onto trains.

Faster Supply Production

The north had a lot of factories, which made production and quality of their weapons better, and made the production way faster, so they could have backup weapons in cases of emergencies.

Union Weaknesses

The Union had some weaknesses too!

Constantly Playing Offense

bowerlj1 — 2025-04-02 17:06:30 UTC

The Union was almost always playing offense during this war because the South said that if they wanted them, we'd have to come get them.

Less land

The Union had less land than the South did, which made it hard to fight on land they were familiar with.

Unfamiliarity

The Union was constantly fighting in the South, rather than fighting on their own land. This made it difficult, as the South knew about the blind areas, and were familiar with the South, which made it easier to create a sneak attack, or to win a battle.
