Exactly my point. The South should have thought of this before they tried to murder all those at Fort Sumter.
“You’re in the Army now, whether you like it or not”. When the soldiers who fought were somewhat equal in numbers, like 4 to 1 in favor of Federalists, the Confederates consistently beat them. When it got 10 to 1 the numbers were a little too much to overcome.
Wow, exaggerate much? lol No, when the Union had pro-Confederate generals like McClellan, they would get beat, but when Grant and Sherman were leading the fight then the south still had home-field advantage, but they were losing. Look at Atlanta. How many cities burned in the north? Not many. Lee got a taste of what home-field advantage can do when he went to Gettysburg. He got his butt handed to him. The north did better in the south than the south did in the north.
“He got his butt handed to him”.
Gettysburg would have turned out different if Stonewall Jackson hadn’t been killed, but JEB Stuart’s disappearing act is the primary reason the battle was lost.
The truth of the matter is the South lost because they ran out of men to fight. Once again, the Federals, although having over 20,000 more men engaged, had almost as many casualties.
