The Confederacy wasn’t going to win a stalemate, the outcome would have been the same because the Union could afford a stalemate, the Confederacy couldn’t.
What? A stalemate would have been the Union calling off the dogs and saying go be your own country, we can't stop you.
quote:this implies the Confederacy would have had to invade and defeat the north. That was never going to happen. A stalemate was their only chance and Lee played it wrong.

Lee needed 2 for 1 casualties (like Grant achieved in the western campaign) to have a chance. Instead, he racked up bloody battle after bloody battle then didn't have the manpower to win a war of attrition.
Lee was good. But if he was the best he would have won. All I'm saying.
