While many still debate the causes of the Civil War, author James McPherson said that, "The Civil War started because of uncompromising differences between the free and slave states over the power of the national government to prohibit slavery in the territories that had not yet become states. When Abraham Lincoln won the election in 1860 as the first Republican president on a platform pledging to keep slavery out of the territories, seven slave states in the deep South seceded and formed a new nation, the Confederate States of America. The incoming Lincoln administration and most of the Northern people refused to recognize the legitimacy of secession. They feared that it would discredit democracy and create a fatal precedent that would eventually fragment the no-longer United States into several small, squabbling countries."

Answer: Economy

Explanation:

Much like in politics, war is usually decided by money. Who has enough money to finance the war campaign such that their soldiers can get the best equipment and means to keep up the war effort.

The North had that advantage over the South and other advantages flowed from this. With a superior economy which was based on industry and finance, the North could levy taxes and collect more money from their people than the South could.

With this money they were able to buy better guns, better equip their navy, supply food to their soldiers and transport them around on railroads as well. The economy of the North made it such that they had a resource advantage over the South and they used this to their advantage from the mid to the late stages of the war.
