What was the biggest disadvantage the confederacy had going into the war?

a. lack of buying power for military and financial backing of the war unlike the union.
b. they did not have a leader going into the war.
c. they had poor planning and execution in battles.
d. the south had more advantages over the north.

a. Lack of buying power for military and financial backing of the war unlike the Union.

they didn't really have anything to sell except cotton and tobacco ( which means less diversity, one market collapse, all collapse)

their main buyer was Britain. The US was able to get the British to not buy Confederate cotton.

hope this helps
