Well, you admit the 'one southerner can whip 10 Yankees' was wrong, and you point out that one southerner couldn't whip three Yankees, either. Y'all got yerself in a cat fight y'all jess couldn't win, no way no how. All things considered that was pretty dumb of y'all, wasn't it?
Just a slight overestimation on our part.
and you point out that one southerner couldn't whip three Yankees, either.
Incorrect. We could and did for four years. Since deciding factors occur at the margin, the excess beyond 3 yankees for every southerner made the final determination. Normally the guy who loses the most men also loses the war. Y'all lost 100,000 more men than we did yet managed to squeek out a win - albeit a difficult one at that - for no other reason than that you were more populous.
