The greatest asset of the South in the US Civil War was the fact that it was fighting for its independence. It had to win or lose everything. In the North, well if they quit, the entire western frontier was theirs to deal with. And, they already had a strong industrial base and a strong farmland as well. Wheat, corn and potatoes are prime examples.
