“Of course till Lee’s worse than mediocre showing at Gettysburg, the south was winning. “

Yes, but, the north had all the numbers: The men, machines, money, etc. It was only a matter of time before the South lost. I am a southerner and damned proud they stood in the face of tyranny, but they were out gunned in every way 3:1 and had exhausted the majority of what they had before the war was over.

That said, that isn’t the case today. The south has all the men, machinery, and money.

If I’m not mistaken the British were supplying weapons etc, like the 1853 Rifled musket.

Machinery and Money? How so?

As far as men I will give you that. And the few men we have up here? We will be down to help ya’ll

There was no tyranny - except that coming from the slavrocracy. The south had full voice in Congress, and had held the presidency more often than not. That the had a temper tantrum and a meltdown when they didn’t get their way is telling.
