Grant was a sub-par leader who followed Lincoln's inexperienced orders to throw more and more young men at Longstreet's fortifications without care for their lives until Dixieland ran out of ammunition and was forced to retreat. Cold Harbor.
The North had a guaranteed victory if it wasn't idiotic in every way, shape, and form which it often was so the whole process was dragged longer than it needed to be.
Lee was a defensive genius and revolutionized how terrain was used in combat. Longstreet invented modern trench warfare. Grant was a blithering drunkard and Sherman a pillaging barbarian who pale in comparison to the Southern aristocracy's tactics. |

| And yet because Grant so grossly outnumbered, outgunned his opponents he is remembered as their equal despite moving slower, learning slower, and reigning over the most disastrous military performances of the Victorian Era. |

The south would of lost eventually.
The Union had more men, more industrial power, more guns, and more railroads and locomotives to supply their troops. |

| We succeeded from the union first and probably wouldn't hesitate to do it again. |

deception is apart of war
if the enemy things your the best the other side has to offer
their going to make a super high tech plan and it will fail once the opponent launches a simple charge |

thats what the mongols did, the greeks did
they'd Massacre a contingent of enemy soldiers, and let few escape inorder for them to tell their own horror stories to the rest of the enemy armies and cause panic
every soldier set 4 campfires to make your own force look incredible large and make the enemy retreat even before the battle begins

there is still a greater african american/immigrant population in the south than in the north
so good luck trying to succeed on the same values |

White Southernors in the grand majority of cases vote against welfare, while most blacks in the South receive very large and disproportionate amounts of welfare. They're responsible for most of the crime, murder, and generally anything illegal.
While you're right about not being able to secede right now, the SJW's rhetoric being pressed about worshipping MLK and going on and on about race quotias and wealth inequality and how about we need to import MORE Africans is luckily being ignored by all but the blacks and bleeding-heart women they target for votes. |
