Why did the South lose the US Civil War?

• Answer:

  Answer Primarily because the north was more industrialized and had access to better weapons and supplies. The South had almost no industry of their own and therefore had difficulty as an independent nation. The North's military was also better trained than the South's. Had the South not been supported by European nations, it would not have even had a chance. Not true. There was almost zero support from Europe, to begin with. As for the military, the northern states had more men, nearly two to one, but the southern generals were overall better, and the soldiers were better at riding and shooting. They won many battles through sheer courage and leadership.
