The small population hindered the South's ability to defend its vast area. As it was, the Army of Northern Virginia did a good job defending Richmond, but the rest of the South lay more or less open to invasion. The South never really formulated a war policy that would allow for an elastic defense. In short, there were too few troops defending too much territory without a coordinated strategy.
