are you absolutely dull? Grant and Sherman had superior resources that's the only reason they were able to win. Lee and Jackson performed fantastically with an army that had nothing to eat for years, feeble supplies, and less manpower.
@@rc59191 The Confederates would have won the war if Longstreet didn't disobey orders at Gettysburg and actually attacked when he was supposed to. He was so reluctant because he didn't want to fight there but Sickles on the Union side was way out of position. If Longstreet didn't practice insubordination, Gettysburg would have been a decisive southern victory.

Lee had no chance of winning even if he managed to drive Colonel Chamberlain off of Little Round top the Union was already in a position to reform new lines.

@@101trus You shouldn't discount the qualitative advantage of the army of northern Virginia in terms of officers and soldiers though. If you follow the campaign in 1864 there were many instances where Lee was caught out of position, only to have Union commanders below Grant fumbled with execution, and give him time to recover.
Just finished this series, and I loved it. Thank you to everyone involved for the hard work and research that was put into this documentary.

Strangest thing, I woke up (2:03 am) with a burning question about CSA railroads/guages and found answers in this video. Thanks, but go figure?
Glad to help!
Now let's address the problem of trains being too darn long nowadays
No doubt Lee and Jackson were great generals but Grant and Sherman had them beat. They understood modern warfare better.
Longstreet was one of the few Confederates who fully understood the war they were fighting. Ridiculous how much hate he gets from the Lee fanboys.

Given the Confederates aversion to education, it would prove difficult to decipher, send and receive telegraph messages.
Thank you. Awesome!
