What side won the most battles in the early part of the US Civil War from 1861 to 1862 and how and who won the most battles in the later part of the civil war 1863 to 1865 and how?

Answer 1

The Confederacy won the majority of battles during the period of 1861 to 1862.

The South ,at the beginning of the war, had better skilled generals than the North, in many historian opinions.

Also, the war was fought mostly in the south so that gave the South a decisive advantage because they had better knowledge of the geography and terrain.

The South was on the defense and the Northern troops were not well organized

under Union generals McClellan, Mcdowell, Burnside and others.

As the war progressed over the following years, the North built up the advantage because it was so much stronger industrially and wore out the south with its quality

and quantity of weapons and equipment. Between this process and Gen. Grant's

-modern for its time - battle tactics , the war between the states became a war of

attrition. Or have modern day historians called "exhaustion".

The aid from Britain or France, could not replace the thinning ranks of Confederate armies. The Union just wore down the South piece by piece.
