By my count Confederates did pretty well in 1861, winning most battles, both in the Union and in the Confederacy.
But 1862 is a different story -- of 29 engagements in 1862 so far, Confederates won only five, and three of those were minor engagements in Union New Mexico Territory.
In 1861, Union Gen. McClellan did well in West Virginia, where most curiously, both RE Lee and "Stonewall" Jackson did relatively poorly.
So Lincoln put McClellan in charge of the Army of the Potomac, and so far Little Mac seems to have a good plan.
But can he execute it?
Can he adapt to changing conditions & opportunities?
Well, here's a clue: McClellan is a Northern Democrat.
