The South had several advantages in its rebellion to leave the Union in 1861. One such advantage was that it needed only to fight a defensive war to win. It did not need to invade and destroy the Union. It's hope was that the Union would tire of the war, its losses of soldiers , and the seemingly no victory in sight attitude for much of the war. The second major advantage was the size of the Confederacy. To win, the Union had to conquer a vast Southland and hold on to captured territory. This was a failed attempt until President Lincoln raised more troops to overwhelm the South.
For the most part the South fought the invading North on Southern soil,so Confederate soldiers had that mental/emotional advantage of fighting for their homes. On a purely strategic level the South had the "interior lines", however the under-developed railroad system in the South somewhat mitigated this advantage.

Prior to the formal outbreak of the American Civil War, a variety of developments gave the North a decided advantage over the South once hostilities erupted. A larger population (and thus the potential for a larger army) was one advantage. Tremendously greater industrial capacity along with a sophisticated and more numerous navy (and merchant fleet) were two others. The existence of an organized and operational federal administrative body was yet another advantage.

The North had two disadvantages. As the invading army, they lacked detailed knowledge of the local terrain, and most of the experienced professional officers were Southern, meaning that, at the beginning of the war, the North lacked leadership.
