There are a few reasons why the South lost the Civil War. One reason is that the North not only outmanned the South but also at almost every point, militarily. The South was also outclassed industrially. If it was not for European recognition and military aid the South would have never had a chance to win. Industrially the South could not keep up in out put and in manpower. By the end of the war …showed first 75 words of 577 total…

…showed last 75 words of 577 total…it would be very difficult to do. The South's largest disadvantage was that the southern slaves which made up an enormous amount of the population were clearly no help they also had little industry and factory production. <Tab/> It is said the longer the war went on, the better the North's chances of winning. Clearly this was true and as the war grew longer and longer the South was eventually doomed.
