Nearly 21 million people lived in 23 Northern states. The South claimed just 9 million people โ€” including 3.5 million slaves โ€” in 11 confederate states. Despite the North's greater population, however, the South had an army almost equal in size during the first year of the war.

Answer:

Northern states

Explanation:

northern states have the total population of 22 million. The southern states have population of 9 million.

This disparity was reflected in the size of the armies in the field. The Union forces outnumbered the Confederates roughly two to one.
