I believe that it was possible the South could have won. Although there were many weaknesses on the South's side, there was still a chance. Despite the lack of manpower and the North's leader (Lincoln), the South, to me, seems like the side that would win. In my opinion, motivation to win a war is key. Because of the South's desire to protect and keep their separate country, they have more to fight for, and winning the battle is very important. However, if the North loses, they technically do not really lose anything.
On a different note, the North allowing the CSA to exist would have been very dangerous, and eventual war would be inevitable - two countries with very different views so geographically close does not bode well for either side.
