There was no Confederacy in 1860, the Confederacy was formed in February 1861, (Lincoln's inauguration was March 4th 1861). Before 1861 there were only small amounts of weapons located in Arsenals around the country. Once the war started, the arsenals in the south were taken over by the Confederacy and both sides began producing weapons in great amounts.

The Union - also more ships, trains, factories, and people, by a factor of 2:1 or more. Follow the link to a resource chart. The South never had a chance.
