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 North's industrial economy gave it an advantage over the South in the Civil War because it had a more developed infrastructure, a larger population, and greater manufacturing capabilities. The North benefited from the presence of factories and access to railroads, which enabled it to produce weapons, supplies, and equipment more efficiently. Additionally, the North's larger population allowed for a larger pool of soldiers and laborers to draw upon during the war.

Okay, Johnnie Reb had almost no advantage over the Yanks at the start of the war. They did have the advantage in land area and ,I think, in tactics, but, those hardly mattered by 1864.
Prior to the formal outbreak of the American Civil War, a variety of developments gave the North a decided advantage over the South once hostilities erupted. A larger population (and thus the potential for a larger army) was one advantage. Tremendously greater industrial capacity along with a sophisticated and more numerous navy (and merchant fleet) were two others. The existence of an organized and operational federal administrative body was yet another advantage.
