Because of the upper hand of the Union army in the context of war supplies and soldiers, the Confederate army decided to incorporate a pragmatic approach to win the war and make the Union army surrender in lieu of getting carried away in an emotional flow and henceforth facing failure in utilizing whatever advantages they had over the Union army. In the aftermath of this conclusion, the Confederate army took on a defensive approach towards the American Civil War.
As the war was being fought on the Confederate territory, there were no perils from that dimension. As a matter of fact, the Confederate approach was to continue fighting with the Union army until they get tired of the fights and eventually give up. However that did not come true because the South was enervated as a result of dwindling war and food supplies, which gave the Union army an extra dose of verve to make the Confederate army surrender.
