Answer 2

Answer: this is the exact answer, reword it on your own.

Explanation:Larger population, greater number of states, greater industrial capacity, grew more edible crops, made more cloth and shoes, had more iron and coal deposits, made more firearms and railroad cars, had more railway mileage, had control of seas and so disabled southern trade, had long supply lines that had to be guarded, had good political leadership but timid and ineffective generals, had control of the border states but this muddled the clarity of its cause.
