re: Civil War time travel question/debate

I think people forget soldiers in the civil war were good at sneaking around in the woods sniping people also. 100 navy seals against 1000 yanks would be pretty tough, much less hundreds of thousand. You have 1000 troops spread out hunting navy seals, remember many of these guys lived off of hunting, they could probably get the seal numbers cut in half just by doing that.

We always think of confederates were good as marksman but many of the yanks from rural areas were good themselves.
