Hunger - the constant difficulty of getting rations to the front line. At Chattanooga, the besieged Army of the Cumberland was on half-rations and looked like being starved into surrender until Grant forced a new supply-line.

Barefoot campaigning - many Confederates went barefoot, and were strongly motivated to win battles so that they could strip the dead and the captured of their boots. Lee's invasion of Pennsylvania had a lot to do with capturing a boot-and-shoe factory near Gettysburg.

Worst of all was the conditions in the prison camps. At Andersonville, Georgia, Union prisoners were reduced to gang warfare and eventually cannibalism.
