Best Answer

Initially the military advantages the South had in the US Civil War were the following:

* Using a basically defensive posture, the South could fight with less troops as Union offensives required a larger number of troops;

* the battle grounds were essentially in the South, where the Confederate forces were more familiar to them than the Union;

* initially the South made better use of their railway system in transporting troops and supplies to battles where they were most needed; and

* the South did not need to "conquer the Union, only to make the war last long enough so that the Union might just give up fighting the war; and

* to a large degree the South had better military commanders than did the North.
