That’s the difference between a limited and total war.
During world war 2, the US produced enough combat vehicles to fit all Americans serving concurrently in Vietnam, while building mote than one ship a day, engineering nuclear bombs and supplying their allies.
The civil war is classified as a total war but nice try.
In reality the Confederacy had plenty of industrial power… Purchasable from Europe, with cotton. Just as the Vietnamese were able to borrow industrial capability from the USSR and China.
On the topic of total wars and what exactly that means, btw, Vietnam was a total war for the Vietnamese, and the mass conscription in America and the spending on military hardware certainly goes beyond the rhetorical implications of a “limited” war for America.
Back on topic, the Confederacy’s problem was that the Union had the Navy, and abolitionists had enough influence in Britain that the British government couldn’t sell off their claimed principles and break the blockade.
