Question

Which side, North or South, had the economic advantage at the beginning of the Civil War?

Answer 1

The south because they relied on trade

Answer 2

Answer:

The north always had a better advantage during the Civil War. The south had more moral motives and home field advantage. The North had more people to fight but I believe they didn't volunteer till the war became about the moral issue of slavery. So the best answer would be: The North because they could manufacture materials to support troops... also because that is best connected to economic reasons.
