Even you have to admit we put up one heck of a fight. Lincoln thought he'd have us conquered in a matter of weeks. He paid for his mistake with 4 long years of war that consumed thousands of lives including his own.

It may have taken the North longer than we at first anticipated, but we never doubted the outcome. Y'all came from the 'one southerner can whip 10 Yankees' school, and y'all still got yer ass kicked. A shock which some of you seem to have never gotten over.

Taking over 4 years to do so, at 3-1 odds, and waging war against innocent women and children ain't an ass-whupping. But if you want to be think so, be my guest.

Well, most records place our numbers at about 900,000 and your numbers at about 2,750,000. That means it turned out to be something closer to one southerner can whip three yankees...which still leaves you at a substantial deficit.
