The North was more industrial and the South was more agricultural, the north had more population. Cotton was a big part of the South’s economy and that is why they needed slave labor. Both North and South had railroads but the North had many more miles of railroad and a more sophisticated rail system, the North was more progressive not just socially (outlawing slavery in most states).
The South had fewer big cities but the population, being more out in the country, had more people who knew how to use a gun effectively from hunting experience which gave them and advantage in that regard.
TODAY'S america is not the same geographical shape as the first american colonies-and the concept of america has evolved as well over the years.
