Best Answer

The major deficiency of the Confederacy was the lack of a powerful navy. While the Union's navy was small at the beginning of the US Civil War, their safe ports allowed them to build a fleet of warships that were an overwhelming force in the war. The South was only able to buy a small number of fast "raiders" and a small fleet of river gunboats
