He had his good points, but was often at odds with several key governors regarding such things as conscription, that impaired his ability to run the Confederacy as a functional wartime operation...on the plus side, the ability of the South to ramp up production so as to provide for a force in the field was nothing short of astonishing, given its agrarian culture...eventually, as was inevitable, attrition took its toll on the will to continue the fight, but to the end, few Confederate soldiers lacked for arms or ammunition...
