Read the quote from Jefferson Davis.

What does this quote tell you about the North?

1)The North had a weak army.

2)The North had more advantages.

3)The South had more advantages.

We are without machinery, without means, and threatened by a powerful opposition; but I do not despond, and will not shrink from the task imposed upon me.

— Jefferson Davis,
