Wasn't the South doomed from the start of the civil war since the Northern states had so much more industry? I don't know much about US history but I would imagine that as the cause of the South losing the war
Wasn't the South doomed from the start of the civil war since the Northern states had so much more industry...
they say shit like that but smaller nations have capitulated larger in many cases
But in this case the Republicans cracked down so hard on the democrats in the north, they would have never have accepted the confederacy's existence
so yeah factory's and railroads won the day
didnt the south btfo the north for the first 2 years of the war
Losing the battle of Gettysburg was what sealed the confederates fate of losing. They could have won.
if lincoln wasn't reelected and the emancipation proclamation wasn't announced then they might have successfully seceded
Like how Vietnam won despite having 0 industry? :D
The South could've won, but it would've been a longshot. It certainly wouldn't have been a glorious conquest type of victory, but a winning by the skin their teeth kind of victory.
The South's best hope was to erode the North's will to fight to the point that the public demanded an end to the war. That came close to happening at some points, but unexpected reversals such as Lee's two invasions of the North prevented the drop in morale from becoming catastrophic.
Vietnam was funded by the Chinese and Russia, two absolute huge industrys. Vietnam was also a deadly jungle shit hole, Southern USA is flat and dry and had no allies with such a large industry.
>implying vietnam won
kek we withdrew retard. They didn't win shit.
VIetnam had better technology than the Amerimutts, state of the art Soviet weaponry.
