On the other hand, the Northern States were more affluent and had a more industrial economy and hence, they could support ending slavery.

The biggest advantage of the Civil War was the subsequent freedom for all slaves across the United States. After the civil war ended it eventually paved the way for a civil rights movement which after a 100 years was able to provide universal suffrage.
