North vs. South

The north may have seem like they would have had complete victory over the south, but I think that the south did have a chance against them. The generals leading the armies were a major thing that you could judge the army by. If the generals were bad, you could have assumed that his soldiers were too. The north had mistake-prone generals. They weren't necessarily bad but they were bound to make mistakes. The south had more experienced and generals and soldiers which led to better decisions. The north did have more resources, more man power and about double the mileage that the south had but the south had a reason to keep going and to keep fighting. The north was constantly questioning the reason for fighting. The strategy of the south was more than just that one battle with the north. The north just focused on how to win that particular battle but the south wanted to come up with ways to win all the major battles and they thought to get help from France and Britain. The south also did have a home field advantage. They weren't afraid to take the step to fight even if it meant failure.
