On paper, the South was a bucket of disadvantages. The Union seemed fully loaded with railroads, people, and industrial advantages. Looked like the South had nothing but cotton to throw. BUT... the South had a good amount of advantages. They had trade power, home- field advantage, and the will to fight.
So how come the South didn't win the war? Mistakes. A lot of battlefield mistakes. Battles such as Gettysburg and Antietam could have been a major upside to the south, changing the war's direction.If pursued, the South would had a strength, moving towards the victory of the Confederacy.
