This question could be answered in a few ways, but in my opinion the confederates of the south should have won the civil war. They outkilled the union by over 100,000 men but were outnumbered by nearly 120,000 men after Gettysburg so were forced to make an unwilling retreat.Also,when the confederates attacked Washington DC they could have taken over the capitol,but graciously didn't because after that tragic lose for the north they thought the north would leave them alone. It was that mistake that lot them the war.

BeauThe South believed it was stronger because it had cotton (chief export of the USA) and a more soldierlike people to recruit from, as well as the inspiring mission of repelling invaders.
The North believed (correctly) that it was stronger because it had a bigger population, an advanced manufacturing industry and the naval power to blockade Southern ports.
So each side thought it was stronger, and also refused to believe that the other side was serious in its threats.
