the north had fewer people than the south.
the north had a longer coastline than the south.

The North had a longer coastline than the South.

Explanation:

The northern soil and atmosphere favored littler farmsteads as opposed to huge ranches. Industry thrived, energized by more rich characteristic assets than in the South, and numerous huge urban areas were built up. By 1860, one-fourth of all Northerners lived in urban territories. Somewhere in the range of 1800 and 1860, the level of workers working in agrarian interests dropped radically from 70% to just 40%. Subjugation had vanished, supplanted in the urban communities and manufacturing plants by migrant work from Europe. Truth be told, a dominant part of outsiders, seven out of each eight, settled in the North as opposed to the South. Transportation was simpler in the North, which bragged more than 66% the railroad tracks in the nation and the economy was on a rise.
