The north won the civil war for many reasons.There are many factors that lead to the north's victory.I will begin by mentioning the compromise of 1850.After Lincoln won the election, himself and Black Republican Allies pressured the states of Tennessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri and Delaware to remain in the union.Crittenden's compromise restored the Missouri compromise line of 36/30 to California and guaranteed the national gov. would not bother with slave states that already existed.Anything north of this line was unconstitional.The territory was divided into the Nebraska and Kansas territories.The main issue was slavery.The free soil concept was the only thing that kept the American party and Republican party together.They were against the expansion of slavery.John Brown and 23 men of mixed color raided Harper's Ferry to steal weapons and ammunition.The goal was for the blacks to kill the white slaveholders and families. Brown is captured and hangs himself.The Fall of Fort Sumter started started the civil war. The north had an overwhelming advantage in resources over the south.Northern white fighters outnumbered southern white fighters 3 to 1.The north had a bigger population because they believed in industrialization.The south believed in agriculture.The north dominated in the production of firearms (97%), railroads (96%), naval power, and better leadership.New technologies allowed them to develop a rifle musket that used minie balls that could fire up to 300 yards.General Winfield Scott gave Lincoln the idea to create a blockade on the south.It's purpose was to cut the confederacy off from supply, putting political and economic pressure on them. At first, it was ineffective because of the massive size of the area they needed to cover (3,000 miles and almost 200 harbors to patrol).The union only had 42 ships. Winfield Scott creates a navy of 300,000 men to take over harbors and block off the south in a 3 year time period.
