South Had a Better Chance

The South had the better chance of winning the Civil War because they had the home field advantage, the better generals, and the motivation. Because the war took place in the South, the southeners had the advantage because they were already used to the area, and knew how to survive in the weather. They also had the better generals and the more well trained soldiers in their army. The South's motivation to win was a major advantage because unlike the North, the South had a reason to want to win the war.
