The major problems, in general, that were faced during the Civil War were that the North overpowered the South. The North had a much larger population which means more troops, more ports in which to trade (economic), more railroad control and all the naval experience. The only thing that the North did not have was as much land. Slavery was also a big issue during this time because the South was mainly ran by slaves. When Abraham Lincoln was elected, he supported anti-Slavery and rejected the Crittenden Compromise which was - the plan that called for the old Missouri Compromise line to be west through remaining and North of line, slavery would be illegal and south of line slavery could expand. Lincoln immediately rejected, and many people(mainly South) were very angry.
13, 14, 15 amendment during this time
13-abolishes slavery
14-equal citizenship to all naturalize born U.S. citizens and denied states the right to deprive anyone of life, liberty and property without DUE PROCESS
15-right to vote
Better Generals on the other side.
Southern advantage in cavalry.
Serious risk of Britain and France granting recognition to the Confederacy and sending military aid.
Increasing war-weariness, made worse by Grant's ending of prisoner-exchange and news of shocking conditions in the prison camps.
Danger of Lincoln being voted out in the '64 election (which would probably have meant Southern independence), while the Confederate president was not having to worry about an election.

Union:
-slavery issue
-initially fighting on "foreign" unfamiliar terrain
-incompetent (or at any rate pretty useless) military leaders at first
-lack of willing soldiers to fight (solved with draft and political pressure)
Confederacy:
-ineffective government/leader (both disorganised and unprepared for war)
-fewer numbers
-less access to artillery/other industrial resources necessary for war
-less money
-many incompetent military leaders (minus Lee; he was brilliant)
The North initially did not have the advantage but as the war progressed, their overall numbers (along with their control over the Mississippi, splitting the Confederacy in half) overwhelmed the South. Actually, had the North not intercepted a Southern courier holding key military strategies, the South may have actually won. lee was a brilliatn strategist. The North's military leaders later in the war (Grant) were fine with losing many of their own as long as they inflicted an equal or greater amount of damage on the South. As far as some seiges were concerned, the North simply cut off supply lines to Southern towns/cities, effectively starving the civilians into surrendering. The Civil War was (and I believe still is) the war in American history resulting in the most deaths (counting both sides casualties, of course, since they were all technically American).
The North also managed to take the Mississippi River and key cities along it. In doing this, they effectively controlled commerce in the South (or at least the main ports), and they also took the railroads. The North eventually had virtually full control over the transportation within the South by the end of the war. Sherman in particular adopted a harsh treatment of the South. It was his army that burned down towns they passed and sprinkled salt on the dirt, effectively ruining the fertileness of it and starving the people.
Also, political unrest and dissent from the public was there in both sides (usually when their side was losing). The North was able to quell it more (bigger army, yaddayadda), but the South's inefective government couldn't do anything, pretty much.
hope this helped ^^
