"Had the South benefited from never-ending supplies that the north enjoyed, the war would not have ended at Appomattox and Mr. Davis would have continued his presidency of the CSA in Richmond."

By January of 1865, there was already a serious movement of succession among the original CSA founders, Florida wanted out, Georgia wanted out, Texas wanted out. There were others.

The seeds of the CSA's destruction can be found in its own Constitution. They over compensated, in my opinion. While its intellectually a fun exercise to play "states rights or die!" when that closely held theory actually faced reality, it fell apart under the weight of its own beliefs.

"Died of a Theory" is a very accurate description of what happened in the end to the Confederacy.

How else can one explain the fact that Georgia had 50,000 complete sets of uniforms, including shoes, in April of 1865...yet the Army of Northern Virginia was "ill clad" to be kind...and shoeless? And starving? Thats just one example, as you might or might not know.

Put the US Constitution and the CSA Constitution side by side. You say sovereignty is a bad theory?
