Funny how the southern states literally only had Mobile, New Orleans, and Charleston. The war should've been a year long no diff ngl. Good generals make a difference, who could've guessed?
‘Good’ is a strong word. A lot of '61 was two sets of incompetents flailing at each other, and the dice coming up lucky for the South, while '62 and '63 was largely a series of unforced errors on the part of incompetent Northern generals. The strategic acumen of Lee et co is much overstated.
I wasn't saying that southern generals were good, just that most of the northern ones didn't seem to be. Sorry for being unclear.
Ah, yeah, completely correct then.
If labour is free, you don’t need industrialisation, and that attitude carries over to logistics.
