The statement that characterizes the advantage and disadvantage the Union had during the Civil War would be Option A, "A larger army, but fewer exports". During the Civil War, the number of soldiers the Union had was 67%, which is 34% more than what the Confederacy had, considering its smaller population. Pre-war exports of the Union was 30%, while the Confederacy was all the way up at 70%.
I also provided a picture of the graph for reference.
The correct answer is “A larger army, but fewer exports”
The North had a greater population with 22 million people, because of that they had a larger military power, with a five to two advantage in men.
The South had an agricultural predominant market, the southern stated produced 2/3 of the world’s supply of cotton, because of that, the Union had fewer exports.
