The home field advantage
In the US Civil War, the South had a number of advantages. Perhaps one of the best ones was the fact that they did not have to conquer the North to win. Their goal for independence would come when the North no longer wished to continue the conflict.
The South was free to ignore the Proclamation, since Lincoln had no authority over the slave-states in rebellion. The North would benefit, because Britain and France were no longer free to aid the South (it would have made them look pro-slavery themselves.)
In the US Civil War, the North had a larger population and a larger industrial base with which to manufacture weapons. The opportunity of emancipating slaves and recruiting them into the army of the North was also a strategic advantage (as well as a moral advantage).
Two advantages of the North during the American Civil War were its industrial capacity and transportation infrastructure. The North had a more developed industrial base, allowing for greater production of weapons, ammunition, and supplies. Additionally, its extensive railway network facilitated the efficient movement of troops and resources, giving the Union a strategic logistical advantage over the South.
The South had several advantages over the North during the Civil War, including a strong military tradition and experienced military leaders, such as Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Additionally, the South's geographic familiarity provided strategic advantages in defense, as they were fighting on their home turf. The Southern economy was also heavily reliant on agriculture, particularly cotton, which was a valuable export that garnered support from European nations. Finally, many Southern soldiers were motivated by a strong sense of regional identity and commitment to their way of life.

The South had superior generals. It also had a powerful patriotism and a belief in the justice of its cause.

During the Civil War, the North had very clear advantages over the South. Its naval force had absolute superiority over the Southern navy, which was nearly non-existent. Its industrial production was many times larger and many more times more productive than southern industry. Finally, its population was over twice as large as the population of the South, which would equate to many more soldiers being enlisted and appearing in battle.
No, they had an incompetent President who could not control his cabinet or his Generals. The only advantage was they did not have to face a General Election in 1864.
