I believe that the North had the right idea when it tried to get the South to join the Union once again. There's more strength in numbers and if the South had successfully seceded from the Union, then the nation's size and power would have been reduced greatly.

Maybe.
The South could have won. It was definitely possible. After all, the South had better generals, home field advantage, motivation, and their strategy was way better. I don't mean to hate on the Anaconda Plan, but that plan takes way too much time and there isn't a lot of room for mess-ups. The South was playing a defensive war, like the colonies had when trying to claim independence from Britain. And it worked for the colonies. If it worked for the colonies, it could have also worked for the South.

I agree that the south could have won. Though the north had more people and land, the south could make better decisions because of the more experienced soldiers and generals. They didn't let the fact that they had less man power stop them from fighting on.
