If the Confederacy had won, they could have pushed on, and if the number of casualties became to great, Lincoln would have to surrender and try to make peace. By that time the Confederacy would have not needed France or Britain, (and even if they did, France and Britain wouldn't come because they'd look like hypocrites), and they would have won the war. Also, it would show the Confederacy was able to leave so therefore whenever a state didn't like something they would leave, until there was nothing left of the Union. The CSA, however, would remain for about a year until people realized it wouldn't work and everyone there fell into poverty and the CSA broke apart.
Lincoln would not have surrendered after going so far and having lost so many men. He said he would pull the Union back together and he would most likely stick to his word. How would they win the war with only having won one major battle? The Confederates strategy was a defensive strategy, so how would they win the war if Lincoln would not surrender?
ReplyDeleteThe Confederacy would have won the battle and the war, but the CSA would still could have pull together to stay as a nation like the USA, but unlike them there would probably be future battles that would eventually lead to one nation either way.
ReplyDeleteNo Jaime. Just No. The CSA would fall apart, because it had even more problems than the AOC.
