Italian was not the official language of the Roman Empire and therefore is not a legacy, so this would be the incorrect answer. During the Pax Romana, there were many key inventions such as the systems of roads, tunnels and bridges being created all over the empire. Aqueducts were one of the biggest inventions, with some of them still working today. The achievements made in law during that time are still used for Civil Law today.
The main advantage that the South had at the beginning of the war was its large army and well-trained generals. The Confederacy, from this perspective, appeared more capable of winning the war at the beginning of the conflict. Moreover, as most of the fighting was carried out in the South, they also had the advantage of knowing the territory.
I do not think that the South failed to exploit its initial advantages. The Confederacy fought extremely well during the early stages of the war. However, the North's advantages were finally just greater. The South relied on agriculture, which was rendered unviable during the war. Moreover, it had a much smaller population, and its workforce was destroyed after emancipation. All of these put the Confederacy in a particularly difficult position.
