NOPE. it would have been the northern cities that would have burned and damnyankee officers who would have been singled out,hunted down & captured or killed.

if the US army, USAF & NAVY combined couldn't stop <30,000 VC armed with outdated and homemade weapons (and we could NOT!), what makes you think that >100,000 southron partisans couldn't have wreaked unbelievable havoc on the north, until such time as the northern people said "ENOUGH ALREADY-give the rebels their freedom".

there it is. the blueprint for southron victory in 1862. (too bad they didn't ask COL Quantrell!)

Oh puleeze. Any southern partisans would have had to live off the land with at least the tacit support of the local populace. Something they wouldn't have found up North. The closest your side got to that was the massacre at Lawrence.

...too bad they didn't ask COL Quantrell!...

They could have, for all the good it would have done them. He was dead by that time, remember? June 6, 1865 he got his just deserts.
