The south had better military leadership sure. That's what allowed them to do what you just said. But it's a southern fantasy that men in general were just better down here
No one is saying that the men were just better. It was motivation, determination, and backs against the wall. They proved time and time again on the battlefield.

Seriously, not wanting to sound like a troll at all here, but why is it that whites from the Southeastern USA are hands down the most pathetic whites on the planet in just about every category and statistic?
I mean, it's well known throughout the Western world that the white people of the American South have the worst inferiority complex of all others on this planet. Native Americans on reservations often make the same excuses for defeat as that of southern whites.

This may have made them fight harder because they were defending their homes. I don't think it means that they were better soldiers. What would make better soldiers is if they received some kind of better training than the men in the North. I still think this comes down some kind of Southern romanticism that is heavily associated with the time period.
