I imagine that from your side of the bars everyone looks insane. I notice that even your lost cause comrades don’t share your POV.

Ok find ONE contemporary letter, correspondence or newspaper article from the time period that thought or ever insinuated that the USA, after secession, was in mortal danger? You won't find any. Because you are fascist thug you can't realize that the part of the USA that was left after secession was huge viable country and that an independent CSA also had a right to exit. You think that when the CSA seceded that ENDED the Union. How utterly preposterous.

Both sides knew that the South's chance of holding off an invasion were slim from the beginning-day one.

You know what? The people of the South didn't need saving save for the Union that was doing just fine; their Army and Lincoln were pretty terrifying for a "destroyed" Union.
