War time
Uniforms
North
The north had better uniforms that they could manufacture consistently. Their uniforms where blue cotton uniforms that could be produced constantly because of the machines they had under their power
South
The South's uniforms where brown and made out of bad material and they couldn't make them as constantly because they didn't have anything consistant enough to do so. Because of their brown uniforms they were called butternuts
Deaths
Most soldiers that went to war died before they even got to shot a bullet because of diseases the most common disease that was life ending was diarrhea. The soldiers that did make it to the battle field had a 25% chance of dying. About 1000 soldiers died because of disease before they even fought.
Supplies
North
In the north they could receive supplies more often and most of time their supplies were better. the north had convenience stores which gave the union troops a place to get supplies they also had more railroads which are the way that the north and south got most of their supplies. The north was also given a blanket so they could either make a tent of lay it on the ground and sleep on it
South
In the south they didn't get much and they didn't have any stores to get and necessities that they might need they didn't get as often either because there where less railroads in the south so it was harder for the south to get supplies. the south also would steal the north blankets that they were given.
Free time
They both played team games like baseball and a game like football. The most common thing they did any chance they got was write letters to home. they also played cards or hung out with pets which would include squirrels, raccoons, and more
Food rations
North
The food rations in the north were way better the the food rations in the south just because the food they got was fresher and there was more of it too.
South
The food rations that the south received were not anywhere close to the norths because they got less food and the food they did get was worse quality.
Populations
Railroads
70% of all of the railroads are in the north while only 30% was in the south which made the way of transporting goods harder which affected the south greatly because it was harder to get supplies during the war.
Slave Vs. free
In the union states even though they were mostly free there were still a few states that had owned slaves but only about a thousand in those few states. While in the south the amount of slaves to free population was at least doubled and sometimes tripled.
Farms
The farms in the south were like plantation rather than small fields like they had in the north which made the south relay on their farms more than anything else and they shipped their goods to the north instead of using railroads this is important because the north still partially relied on the south
Major cities
In the north there a 17major cities while in the south they have have three which means they have less major places to get supplies in the south so once again they are going to have less opportunities to get supplies and when they do it might not be as good as the norths.
Manufacturing
Industrialization
Industrialization was the process of manufacturing or making more machines. The north had gone through industrialization which gave them machines to help with work so they didn't need slaves and the south hadn't gone through industrialization as soon as they did so they needed slaves to do or help with the work. this was a problem because the northerns didn't understand why the confederates needed slaves.
Economy
The economy in the north relied most on commerce and manufacturing but because the south grows most of the cotton in the U.S. the north still relied on the south to get materials for their clothes. The south on the other hand relied on the north to get their manufactured goods.
Eli Whitney
Eli Whitney was the inventor of the cotton gin which would get the seeds out of cotton plants faster and with lass work than if an African American was doing it. This was a problem because the seeds could now be harvested faster which meant they could plant more and they could plant faster so they had to get more slaves to do the work they could now accomplish. This was a problem because then the slave population was growing and abolitionists wanted the slave population to decrease. Which made them want to fight more.
-
Acts
Fugitive slave act
The fugitive slave act made it so that if a slave had escaped they would be taken back to their owners. this is a problem because free African Americans in the north could be called slaves and forced down to the south so southerners could get slaves without paying and the person who caught the slave got payed a bonus which encouraged them to catch more and more African Americans
Kansas-Nebraska Act
The Kansas-Nebraska act was an act that made any unclaimed territories the option to be slave or free by the majority vote. This was a problem because territories in the south could be free and territories in the north could be slave territories which could anger everyone.
Underground railroad
The underground railroad wasn't a railroad at all it was a set of paths for fugitive slaves to escape and stay at if they were trying to become free. This was bad because now the south was losing slaves and abolitionists would be helping them which are northerners trying to end slavery Which made the confederates mad.
Missouri compromise
The Missouri compromise was an act that made anything north of the Missouri territory A free state while anything to the south was slave. This is a problem because California was split by the line and they became a free state which made southerners mad.

Ending
-
the south surrendered because of they needed more supplies and men but even with the starving men that Robert E. Lee had under his command they wouldn't have been able to even make it to Lexington where they could've gotten more supplies
