Does anyone have a different idea, History

Assignment Help:

With all of these new technological advancements, this war was one of the bloodiest of history. Not all of them died by weapons however, some also died by the lack of medical knowledge and technology. Foner suggests that more died by being wounded in battle, or from being captured and held in prisoner-concentration camps than actually dying in battle. Our textbook explains that 620,000 men died during the Civil War, and if we used our current population, that would be roughly 5 million men, making this the most tragic war in our history.

My only question would be if the North/Union had so much of an advantage of resources, than why did they lose so many battles. The victory of the Civil War to the Union, was not such a landslide, and both sides lost incredible numbers. I believe the answer would be the South/Confederacy had the "home field" advantage, being on the defensive side, building armed fortresses etc... Does anyone have a different idea?
