I'll give you the answer in an interview of Shelby Foote, the historian that appeared in Ken Burn's Civil War
Q-What would it have taken for the war to go the other war, for the South to win?
A - It would have taken more than the South ever had. The North fought that war with one hand, the other hand behind its back. If the circumstances had called for it, the North simply would have brought other hand out from behind its back. Vasser, M.I.T. - I can't remember the long list of universities and colleges that were established during the war. The Homestead Act was in full blast. The West was settled during the during the war. The North by no means exerted its last ounce of energy and the South very nearly did. There was no way. I think anything the South could have done on its own would have never have won that war. The one chance would have been intervention by England or France and there was no chance for that
That is merely an opinion. The South came close to winning the war more than once. Lee made an error at Gettysburgh, for example, and failed to follow up the federals retreat at Chancellorsville after Jackson's wounding.
