Was there any time through 1863 that the Confederates had a strong chance in winning the Civil War?

In strictly battlefield terms, the Confederate defeats at Vicksburg, Gettysburg and Chattanooga in that year ended their hopes of victory.
But in election year 1864, Northern civilian morale was so low that Lincoln could well have been voted out. If that had happened, the South might have won their independence by negotiation.

What advantages did the south have in winning the civil war?
They didn't win. You mean what were their advantages, relative to the North? 1. Leaders - some of the best officers of the US Army had quit to join the Confederates. 2. Soldierlike people - the Confederates were the sort of men who actively relished a fight. 3. Advantage in Cavalry - most young men were used to the riding and shooting way of life. 4. Home-ground factor - nearly all the fighting was on ground unfamiliar to the enemy. 5. Powerful mission - strong incentive to defend the homeland against the invader.
What is a problem northerners faced during the Civil war?
The North would have to invade and hold the South, a large area filled with a hostile population. Furthermore, the Southern people's support for the war remained strong. Recalling the example of the American Revolution, when the smaller, weaker colonies had won independence from wealthy Great Britain, many believed the South had a good chance of winning.
Is the confederacy the same as the federalists?
No. The Confederacy based their ideology on Thomas Jefferson, who was a Democratic-Republican, a liberal. Also, since the Whig party had died out, especially in the South, most Confederates were Democrats. Federalists were conservatives. Where you are probaby confused is in accounts in which Confederates are noted as also following Washington, whom some history books label as a Federalist. It is true that the Confederates also looked to Washington, but, while he may have had some right wing leanings, he was against political parties and not really a Federalist. The political doctrine of the Confederacy was to restore the original plan of unique American democracy through states rights, rather than a domination of industrializing northern states and the strong federal government they were trying to create, via more representation in the House (hense the 3/5th rule) which obviously would have been in their favor. The Federalists were in favor of strong federal government. You might want to read about the debates between Jefferson and Alexander Hammilton regarding interpretation of the Constitution.

In debate what does an argument consist of?
An argument will consist of several reasons why you think something is right or not. There are always two teams; one team will be the affirmative team and the other will be the negative. They must have strong arguments (or reasons why you think something is right or wrong) in order to influence the adjudicator to pick you as the winning team.

Did the t-rex get into fights often?
Even the mighty Tyrannosaurus was cautious. All predators are. Given the chance a Tyrannosaurus would not have a full on fight unless it had a fair chance of winning or it was a maternal defence. If one was challenging an others territory the current predator would show a strong defence and raise itself up a bit to make it look more intimidating. If there wasn't a very good chance of winning it would most likely back down. So no except for hunting a Tyrannosaurus was a pacifist unless provoked.
