As the war went on, the Union blockade of southern ports and the Mississippi choked off the Confederacy from vital supplies and reinforcements. The casualties the South suffered were difficult to replace. In a way, every Southern victory was a Pyrrhic victory. By contrast, the North's advantage in population and manufacturing capability made up for the losses in the field until the process of attrition wore the South down. War weary, starving, lacking munitions, Lee had little choice but to surrender.
