(11,464 posts)If you are saying the North had the fundamentally better ability to win a war, then the south should not have bothered to fight.
In my view, the north had the better soldiers
Now, if you say the south had the better smarter general, well, that could be an opinion, however, like in football or baseball, having a great manager like say Dick Williams is/was was great. But he did not win every single year. Some years he came up a loser.
Casey Stengel is one of the greatest ever, yet he managed the 1962 Mets.
As enevitable as it was that President Obama was going to win the 2008 primary, election and 2012 reelection, so it was that the North would win.
forget issues, just on what was available to each side
But then the south knew that going in
Now WW2, I don't know what Hitler was thinking, but he was a one man force who without him there was no force at all. If they had unmanned bunker busting drones back then, the world could have saved 6 million Jews, and all the millions others.
Now, that begets the question- what if Hitler were an American General and fought in the Civil War (which side? )
Hitler was a great tactician, but in WW2 maybe he didn't count on America becoming involved.
Who really knows.
But if Hitler were in a civil war, who knows what would have happened.
Who would Hitler have hated back then? Would he have hated at all? or just fought the war, like some claim Lee and Jefferson Davis and the confederates did?
What would Jefferson Davis have done about 9-11?
What would Lincoln have done about Bin-laden?
history is fascinating, but of course, we all here can only guess what it was like then and everyone (yourself included) has a biased view of the past.
It is like I love LBJ for everything he did (but Vietnam). Many hate him solely because of vietnam
