Why were confederate armies in the east often victorious in the early years of war?

The Army of Northern Virginia had excellent commanders in Lee and his chief lieutenant Jackson. They knew the terrain and the approaches the enemy was likely to take. Defense is usually easier in most respects than attack, especially in defense of one's home. The Army of the Potomac needed time to train and learn how to fight. The Union Generals had neither the intelligence nor the strength of will to match Lee and Jackson. Only Grant's persistent toughness and willingness to wear Lee down through unrelenting use of overwhelming force, losing battles, but never retreating, that finally led to Lee's defeat.

What can be a more effective flanking attack against an enemy's front line?

Generally speaking a flank attack against an enemy entails keeping a force directly in front of the enemy army and at the same time mounting an attack on the "side" of the enemy's army which is likely to offer less resistance. If this tactic is successful, the enemy's line is broken and is forced into an unfavorable position. A flank attack can however be even more devastating if the flank attack as already explained, is able to actually move around the flank of the enemy and attack the rear of the enemy army. This endangers the enemy's communication and supply lines placing the enemy in a position where it can be scattered and attacked in detail and thus a decisive victory is achieved. In certain wars, such as the US Civil War, decisive victories in comparison with the hundreds of large and small battles was very rare.
