The Confederate troops, of which General Lee was in charge, had no munitions, no warm clothes, no warm shoes, not sufficient food, none of the articles of war were available to them. The best thing the Confederacy had going for it were the expert military strategists, such as Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson. Even with none of the goods and services necessary, it still took the north four years (1861-1865) to beat the South due to the expertise, experience and logistics knowledge of the officers of the Confederacy.
