The North and the South

I believe that the South did had a higher chance of winning the war with more experience armies and more foreign contact, maybe except immigration. The reason why the south lost was because of the timing of when the Civil war began. If the war had started earlier then they would have had a much larger advantage over the North. The North would still depend on the South's cotton and the same would go for England and France given the South allies and maybe causing the North to allow the South to be independent because over time the demand for cotton that would accumulate could have ended the war much faster. Another advantage that the South would have gained if the war started earlier would be that there would be less immigrants and thus less soldiers fighting in the North's armies and thus lowering the amount of odds against the South.

I believe the South had the odd in their favor, but the one thing that caused them defeat the timing of the civil war.
