Sheer numbers my bruh.

The South had better leadership and the best strategist on the military side.

The North did exactly what China and Russia do. Throw numbers at the problem. Whoever dies isnt upper class anyways so who cares. Just kill them to death!

Except Lincoln fired his generals and promoted the better ones until at the end, Grant and Sherman were the equals of Lee and his crew. Davis, well, he didn't like to fire people.

Yeah and it didn’t help that Stonewall was shot by his own man. SMH.

should have listened to Sam Houston

quote:

Let me tell you what is coming. After the sacrifice of countless millions of treasure and hundreds of thousands of lives, you may win Southern independence if God be not against you, but I doubt it. I tell you that, while I believe with you in the doctrine of states rights, the North is determined to preserve this Union. They are not a fiery, impulsive people as you are, for they live in colder climates. But when they begin to move in a given direction, they move with the steady momentum and perseverance of a mighty avalanche; and what I fear is, they will overwhelm the South
