For the most part the Confederacy was fighting a defensive war. To gain the independence that it sought, the main idea was to repel Union invasions by superior defensive entrenchments. Offensive always needs a larger number to succeed then does defense. The South had limitations on manpower to fight the war. With few exceptions, they fought a defensive war. However, they used the tactics of counter attacks in an offensive manner.
