The South had three disadvantages that would haunt them throughout the war.
1) They had a smaller population and therefore fewer able bodied men to fill the ranks of the army or replenish it due to casualties.
2) They had less industry, especially in heavy manufacturing so they could not compete with the North in production of war materiel'.
3) Their navy was a scratch built force and did not even exist until after the war began. They were able to build up a semblance of a navy, which would include ironclads, but could never build enough war ships to lift the Northern blockade of their ports.
