They were better equipped, better armed, baracaded the south with it's navy, and had much larger army

I think that is EXACTLY how they "covered the spread".

The only problem was that the Union soldiers sucked compared to the Rebels. Thus a four-year, bloody war.

The South (and appalachia in particular) still provides the U.S. its best soldiers to this day. Tough, skilled with firearms, know how to fight, can be pretty [censored] mean.

The south got owned and they had the better army, okay. I'm not arguing that the Northern soldiers were better or strogner or tougher or anything, who the [censored] cares? That the south was better at war and still lost is only a further testment to their pwnedness imo.

One way of looking at it.

Another way is that a starved, ragged, ill-equipped, outnumbered army forced the manufacturing center of the world into four overtimes.

Aside: who's the mod who thinks this cactus thing is a swastika? That's [censored] hilarious.

Spin it any way you want, I suppose.
