What advantages and disadvantages did the uion army have

Union Advantages:

Leaders:

Although the Confederacy had good leaders too, the Union had more. The Union states had leaders like Ulysses S. Grant, William Sherman, Philip Sheridan, and George Thomas, among others. The biggest leader though was President Lincoln. His utter determination to win was key in the Civil War. Having the support of the President, although things weren't always in the favor of the Union states, is a major point in the pursuit of victory.

Population:

The Union had twenty-two million people in its population, versus the mere nine million of the Confederacy. With the freeing of slaves, and the allowance to serve in the army, the population of the army grew by an additional 200,000 men.

Industry:

Their commerce and industrial base, along with railroads, was a huge advantage. By making many of their own supplies, they could replenish things far quicker than that of the Confederacy who had to rely on importation.

Disadvantages:

Pursuit:

The Union states had to pursue and plan attacks, and come off as the aggressors to some.

Terrain:

They didn't know the terrain of the Confederates land like the Confederate soldiers did. Not knowing the easiest or quickest way in and out of an area is a very big disadvantage, especially as you do not know where exactly you are most vulnerable.

Victory was Needed:

The Union states actually needed a victory. The Confederacy just had to hold off the Union states for as long as they could to secure their lands and rights. The pressure - economically, politically, and socially - to make such a feat had to have weighed heavily.

                the united states presidential election of 1912 was the 32nd quadrennial presidential election, held on tuesday, november 5, 1912. the election was a rare four-way contest.

                incumbent president william howard taft was renominated by the republican party with the support of its conservative wing. after former president theodore roosevelt failed to receive the republican nomination, he called his own convention and created the progressive party (nicknamed the "bull moose party"). it nominated roosevelt and ran candidates for other offices in major states. democrat woodrow wilson was finally nominated on the 46th ballot of a contentious convention, to the support of william jennings bryan, the three-time democratic presidential candidate who still had a large and loyal following in 1912. eugene v. debs, running for a fourth time, was the nominee of the socialist party of america.

                wilson won the election, gaining a large majority in the electoral college and winning 42% of the popular vote, while roosevelt won 27%, taft 23% and debs 6%. wilson became the only elected president from the democratic party between 1892 and 1932, and the second of only two democrats to be elected president between 1860 and 1932. this was the last election in which a candidate who was not a republican or democrat came second in either the popular vote or the electoral college, and the first election in which all 48 states of the contiguous united states participated.
