During the civil war many resources were needed. The south and north each had their own key resources that were crucial to their survival. Here are some examples.
Resources[]
In most the union where much more sufficient with Such as population. Out of 100 people about 70 of them were in the union. Meaning the union population was almost 3/4 of the total U.S population.
In manufactures goods meaning items made in factories, the union again was the successor with 9/10 of the production.
One of the things they were about even in were exports Even thou
gh the union produced much more they both exported about 50-50. Though another victory goes to the union for the amount of Marchand ships owned. Out of 10 ships from the U.S 9 of them were owned by the union.
Back in this time rail roads were a very fast transportation. Out of 100 miles of railroad track about 70 were owned by union. This makes sense though since the union had a much larger territory.
A good source of cheap food at the time was bread which was made from grain. The grain production was won by the union at 7/10. Grain was also grown in farms. At the time out of 10 farms 7 were owned by the union and 3 by the confederacy.
One very strong building material is iron. They used it to build ironclads and other weapons. In the iron industry about 95% was produced by the union meaning they had more iron to produce bigger and better weapons.
Lastly in banking the union won their victory. 80% of banking was done in the union.
Conclusion[]
In conclusion the union was dominant in almost all resources, but for what they had they fought extremely hard.
