Your rebuttal to that was that the south wanted to expand slavery in the future, so they left the union and started a war with a competing nation with the long-shot hope that they could compete with the much more powerful union for those regions. Of course that is a stretch by even a basic analysis.

Well, you know. One southerner can lick 10 Yankees, or 20!

The rebs made the same mistake the Imperial Japanese did. The Japanese overlooked the fact that by 1941 the United States had 10 new fast battleships being built and a dozen new Essex class carriers, later expanded to two dozen.
