The Confederate had to build from scratch when the Union didn't.
The Confederate Army was inferior in manpower and cannon. Equally significant, the Confederate Navy was decidedly weaker than the Union Navy in nearly all aspects.
The one thing they had going is they got some of the best military minds from the Union. Robert E. Lee was a good example. Other than that they had to form an army, train them, get supply lines going, collect weapons,and do all the things required for a fighting force.
The Confederate Army was notably better in use of terrain, overall tactics, raiding, use of cavalry, and use of mechanization (trains) to move men and materials. Confederate soldiers were on average much better marksmen than the Union soldiers especially early in the war.
