What advantage did the Confederate states have at the beginning of the civil war?
They had very little as an advantage. The southern states had an ag based economy that depended on the cotton and other products. The cotton sales to England were vast and it was thought that with the start of the war the English would help to protect the cotton imports. Yet England had stockpiles of cotton bales and didn't need more. The north had all the industry, most of the railroad lines, an prepared military, and a government. None of this was in the Confederate states so they really began with all the disadvantages.

Lee the leading West Point graduate and foremost union officer became the commander of Confederate troops. He was a brilliant officer and did give the Confederate states a short term advantage.
