Excuse me? Who launched the war? And by the way, being outmanned, outgunned and out-industrialized was never a reason to surrender. Ask George Washington.
Excuse ME. The Confederates started the war by firing on a United States fort - Sumter. Read your history books. I am certain they mention this detail.
And whic is it? "Never surrender" ala Washington or "We wuz outgunned!". Cannot have it both ways. More cognitive dissonance from Neoconfederates.
