The correct answer is:
North because its government had been in power longer
Explanation:
With Lincoln's election in 1861, Southern states believed they were no longer represented in the federal government, so they started to secede from the Union,<em> forming the Confederate States of America and naming Jefferson Davis as President. </em>
The North seemed stronger at the beginning of the Civil War (and it turned out it was) because the Union had been in power longer, and President Lincoln was the official President to the entire world, even though the South tried to win support from European countries. The federal government had power over the army and had naval power to block Southern ports and their economy.
The North also seemed stronger because of their bigger population and advanced industries.
