The Confederate army did outnumber the Union army, at first. It was only late in the Civil War that conscription in the North brought in manpower that could not be matched by the smaller populations in the South.

The Union also had considerably higher casualty rates, while collateral civilian deaths were much higher in the destroyed cities of the South.
