Here are a few of the reasons. The CSA soldiers volunteered. They were excellent horsemen. They knew their land. They were very gallant. Also had everything to loose if they lost. The union solders most were drafted, or some rich man would pay some poor person or some poor immigrant $100 tp $300 to go in their place. They weren't raised with manners that Southerner's are taught at the earliest age. Not saying all were like that, but many. They didn't have anything to lose. If the North would of lost, they would of not be ruled by The CSA. Where as, read true history of what happened when Lee surrendered. Read about Reconstruction/Deconstrution. Also there were more professional soldiers in the southern army. As far as looks, brother fought against brother. Again I'll go back to my original statement. The Union had nothing to loose, The South had "everything" to loose.
