u wot.

You're forgetting the fact the south had a shit-tier industrial-complex. The North has all the factories to make all the guns and all the ships to use to block off the south, who had to rely on the outside - particularly Britain - to arm itself.

Really, the only legit strength the south had during the Civil War was its laundry list of excellent generals. Their being there was the only reason the war dragged for as long as it did when it could have been put down in a matter of months. The north had all the shit-tier generals, up until Grant happened and he had nothing to loose and was too drunk to care; where the others tried to outsmart the south and lost, he out bruted the south and won.

But that's all the south had, a laundry list of good generals. But they had a shopping list of issues against them. But it goes without saying the southern economy wasn't as strong as the northern economy with its factories and it being fed by California gold. Hell, even the Southern politics was disorganized and they spent a lot of time simply arguing about their flag.
