The Confederate army grew weaker simply due to loss of manpower. There were 22 million people in the northern states, only 9 million in the southern states, 3.5million were slaves. So manpower was even more scarce. Add in a war between an industrial society(north) and an agricultural one(south), and you have a lost cause for the Confederacy.
