Confederate/Union Strengths and Weaknesses

Union Strengths and Weaknesses
           The Union had many strengths, as well as weaknesses. One of the Union's most helpful strengths was that they had a lot of men in the army. The Union had almost twice as many soldiers than the Confederacy. Another strength was that the Union had many factories to produce materials for the war like guns, ammunition, and other necessities. The Union also had many railroads which helped supply the troops a lot quicker. One last strength was that the North had a strong navy. However, the Union also had many weaknesses. One of these was that they had to conquer a very large amount of land. Also, the land was very unfamiliar to the North.

Confederate Strengths and Weaknesses
        Like the Union, the Confederacy had many strengths and weaknesses. One of the Confederacy's most helpful strengths was that they did not have to invade any land, and they only had to defend their homeland. Also, the South had very good soldiers and generals unlike the North. The Confederacy also believed strongly in their cause, and fought strongly for it. One weakness of the Confederacy was that they did not have very many factories to produce war materials, and they did not have many railroads to ship goods to their troops. Another weakness of the South was that it had a small population (around 9 million), and half of the population was enslaved. The Confederacy did not have a strong navy as well.
