The home field advantage
In the US Civil War, the South had a number of advantages. Perhaps one of the best ones was the fact that they did not have to conquer the North to win. Their goal for independence would come when the North no longer wished to continue the conflict.
The South was free to ignore the Proclamation, since Lincoln had no authority over the slave-states in rebellion. The North would benefit, because Britain and France were no longer free to aid the South (it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)
In the US Civil War, the North had a larger population and a larger industrial base with which to manufacture weapons. The opportunity of emancipating slaves and recruiting them into the army of the North was also a strategic advantage (as well as a moral advantage).
There are several factors that contribute to the north being more developed than the south. Historically, the north had advantages such as early industrialization, access to resources, and better infrastructure. Furthermore, the north has typically attracted more investment and economic activity, leading to higher levels of education, healthcare, and overall development. These disparities between the regions have persisted over time, creating a cycle of development in the north and lag in the south.

Simply, it could manufacture all manner of war-supplies, including the latest rifle-barrelled artillery, while the agricultural South was increasingly unable to import anything, because of the Unon Naval blockade.

The South had superior generals. It also had a powerful patriotism and a belief in the justice of its cause.
The North had the factories capable of making supplies and equipment for war.

During the Civil War, the North had very clear advantages over the South. Its naval force had absolute superiority over the Southern navy, which was nearly non-existent. Its industrial production was many times larger and many more times more productive than southern industry. Finally, its population was over twice as large as the population of the South, which would equate to many more soldiers being enlisted and appearing in battle.
No, they had an incompetent President who could not control his cabinet or his Generals. The only advantage was they did not have to face a General Election in 1864.
