No doubt. But, you couple a superior strategy with an overwhelming edge in men and raw materials and the infrastructure in place to use the materials, you have a potential rout on your hands.

Really, I don't know what took the North so long to leverage it like they finally were able to. The only thing that explains it was probably the fact that in VA and the East, there are demonstrably better commanders for the Confederacy in the beginning of the war.

You just described Prussia at the time.

And that Prussia kicked everyone's arse for those reasons. And Moltke knew how to use those resources.
