The Union and the Confederacy were different in many ways. They also had different strengths and weaknesses. The Union had many strengths though. They contained a larger population of twenty-two million free citizens. The Union also had a very diverse economy. Many people in the Union did not just work in factories, many also even grew food of their own. The factories made military supplies for Union Army, making any needed resources available to them. The Union also had many railroads. These railroads made it easier for the Union to transport troops and supplies. The Union contain a strong navy as well. Now all these strengths may seem good, the Union did have weaknesses. They Union had to conquer a large amount of land, which is difficult. The Union also had to conquer foreign land. The Confederate strengths were that they had to defend. This was any advantage because they do not have to waste troops on meaningless attacks. The Confederate soldiers were also very skilled. Another strength for the Confederacy was that they had former officers in the U.S. Army with military experience. Some Confederate weaknesses were that they had few factories making it difficult to produce weapons. They also did not have many railroads making it harder to travel and transport troops and supplies.
Here is basically a sum up with additional facts...
North Advantages: Large Population, Factories for Resources, Railroads for Transportation
North Weakness: Conquer Large Unknown Land
South Advantages: Excellent Military Generals/Army, Strong Fighting Spirit, Fought on Their Own Land, Help from British/French
South Weakness: Only Had Farms, Smaller Population, Lack of Transportation
...I hope this helped!

Just to be clear, the British and French DID NOT aid the South. The South wanted them too, but in order to do so they had to prove themselves on the battle field which they failed to do since the Union won the civil war. And the British and French still ended up NOT aiding them in the war.
can you people just stop theres no point in saying this just scroll up somebody already said it

yeah they helped each other but they didn't fight in the war. Lincoln made is to that they didn't interfere. lmao imagine if they did help the south fight, it doesn't make sense. we woulda been beat but no british didn't join the war. it was only americans vs americans
