Why the north won

I personally never had a doubt that the south could win against the north. The war brought its ups and downs but if you truly believe something you can't ever doubt yourself. I will admit the south had its advantages such as excellent military leadership, confidence and they had a need to win. If the south lost then slavery would have taken from them but if the north was to lose then nothing as major would happen therefore making the north less committed to fighting and winning the war. As the war went on it became obvious that the north also had lots of advantages such as a larger population, more technology and the north had easier assess to resources. In the beginning of the war the north didn't have great military leaders but the north later on gained stupendous leaders that were willing to give up everything to win, such as General Grant and Sherman. The south soon became tired; without the help of any outside sources they ran out of troops and supplies. Although they reached out for European allies the European countries weren't fond of slavery and therefore the south was over taken by the north a military guidance. The north was also guided by the amazing leadership of Lincoln; he was able to keep the nation together under such an awful time. Lincoln made many moves that changed the course of the war for the better such as the decision to proclaim emancipation. The determination of the military leaders, Lincoln and African Americans was nothing like I have ever witnessed before and without the high spirits seen the north would have lost.
