Please study your history. The Union armies: seized the Rebs largest ports, seized their main river, and burned their largest city, all the while slowly destroying the rebel armies. I do believe that means Johnny Reb lost the war big time!

Yeah he did but the ironic thing is that today he is more patriotic than the Yankees from the left wing northeast

GLC: You certainly captured the essence of Northern philosophy -- "seized and burned." But "lost," in context with the fact that the Confederate government never surrendered, is a pretty nebulous term. Nor was Pres. Davis ever tried for treason --- the northern bankers knew it wouldn't stick because it would be an unconstitutional charge.

The record shows that, despite myth, the CSA armies mostly deserted and went home more than they were defeated in battle.
