The South needed a Sherman.
They had one, but never used him for that purpose. At the outset of the war he advocated for a fast and brutal black flag campaign on the north before they could gather an effective army. However, at the time he was a weird/dorky professor at VMI and not capable of convincing higher ups to go along with his plan. By the time they realized he was pretty good at the whole war thing the north had raised a large army and then some dipshits from North Carolina shot him at Chancellorsville.

I didn't like the idea of the South fighting most of the battles in the South when it should have been fought up North. I don't know if they had the numbers and resources but fighting a military much larger than them in an area susceptible to being taken over at any moment would be costly.
