they ran out of food and weapons
During the Civil War, the men were busy fighting. The South sold their cotton to England and the Union was blockading the coast to prevent that. Also General Sherman burned everything in his path to prevent the South from having food or supplies to fight. The South was devastated by the war.

During the course of the US Civil War, scarcity of food types certainly was not an issue in the Northern States. In the South, where most of the war was fought, there were shortages among the Confederate soldiers. As the war ravaged the farmlands of the South I am sure there were food scarcities among the civilians as well.
They didn't want the other army using them for food/shelter
When food was hard to come by in the South during the war, egg whites and butter were mixed as a substitute for milk. The Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865.
It was often difficult to get food during the Civil War. Families sent food to their family members in the Army. Sometimes food and livestock were stolen, or requisitioned by the Army.
They had good presidents, an organized government, people to fight, farms to supple food, and weapons.
