The North had advantages such as a larger population, more industrialization, and better transportation systems that helped them during the Civil War. The South's sectional differences, including their reliance on agriculture and the institution of slavery, contributed to their decision to secede from the Union.

1. The political differences kept the north and the south near constant oppositions to one another on the issue of slavery.
2. Southern states believe that a republican government will dissolve the institution of slavery. would not honor the states rights and promote tariff laws.
