You wouldn't have won the war without the help of foreign allegiances because while the British had longer supply lines, they still had more manpower.
The CSA also brought the war to the US early on, pressuring the Union all the way.
They also looked as if they could win the thing but still lost, because of the sheer, overwhelming manpower of the US military at the time.
Back then, in order to win a war you still needed the recognition of the western European powers.
