The Confederate States of America recognized from the outset of the Civil War that they had disadvantages in terms of population and industrial output. Their strategy was to take advantage of their compact geography, with internal lines of communication, their military heritage (Southerners had been disproportionately the officers of the United States Army), and their greater enthusiasm for their cause to wear down the Union will to wage war. They also believed the Britain, with its heavy dependence on Southern cotton to supply its mills, would be at worst neutral with a bias in their favor, and they dreamed of direct European assistance.

LOL - right...
History isn’t a one-sided story. The Civil War is more complex than most people realize. There wasn’t a noble side in the war. It was the biggest waste of blood this nation allowed because of prideful idiots who couldn’t dialogue.
