Only "stronger military leaders."
- Stronger military leaders: Correct — many of the Confederacy's top generals (e.g., Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson) were Southern and are cited as a Confederate advantage.
- Longer coastline: Not an advantage — the South's long, exposed coastline was a liability because it had to be blockaded by the Union navy.
- Larger population: Not an advantage — the North had the larger population.
- Greater number of rail lines: Not an advantage — the North had more extensive rail networks.
- More factories: Not an advantage — the North was far more industrialized and had far more factories.
