Well, as best I can figure, it was do to lack of good overland roads and railways. No matter how fast the foundry at Port Columbus Georgia could make naval fittings or the Tredager foundry could produce iron armor or Brookes rifels, if they could not transport these things to the shipyard then all the builders end up with is a big wooden block.
A second problem would have been man power. Labor strikes helped doom the CSS Mississippi. Some times even the paint was impossable to get.
