One advantage that the Confederacy had in the war was its talented military leaders.
They lacked great leaders, and at the beginning of the war were not fighting with as much devotion to the cause as the Confederacy.
The main political difference between the Union and Confederacy was over the issue of states' rights versus federal authority. The Confederacy believed in the sovereignty of individual states and their right to secede from the Union, while the Union believed in a strong federal government and the preservation of the Union. This fundamental difference ultimately led to the Civil War.
