union had more man power,industrial backing, weren't reliant on foreign aide, union also had backing of slaves which due to things such as emancipation proclamation and the fleeing of slaves to the north damaged the souths economy
 
well, at one point in the war, the confeds were seriously kicking the unions ass, not to mention that stalemate that ran for a major part of the war until gettysburg. if the confederates employed their troops more wisely and effectively, they could have completely decimated the whole majority of the union army, leaving nothing in its path to invade washington d.c. but insted, the union army basically pervailed, despite the biggest number of casualties (on both sides) than any other single battle in the war, and pretty much decimated the drive and capability of the confederite army to secure wasshington and win the war. Also in the fact that they failed to persuade great britain to assist them in fighting the union. there are many other reasons why they didn't win, but as far as i can see, the major turining point of the war was at gettysburg.
