All they had was men

They weren't as industrialized and they had a smaller population.

You see, there are castes in any society.
Lets say there were engineers, warriors and farmers.
Shit doesen't end well when farmers think they can go against engineers and warriors.

America would have been better if they won
fucking yanks

these

The Confederate states would be even poorer and backwards if they didn't have the Northern States to mooch off of through welfare and taxes. The CSA was shit, it's descendant states still are shit.

The North would be much better off, if they didn't have to waste money propping up the south, whom elects retarded nepotistic Republicans into the federal government.

it was hardscripted

shouldnt have fought a war over them then

This. Also slavery was inherently unstable since it meant that the confederates constantly had to keep one eye on the home front in case they revolted. It was like with the Spartans and the Healots.

Go get shot in a favela.

>"You mistake, too, the people of the North. They are a peaceable people, but an earnest people and will fight too, and they are not going to let this country be destroyed without a mighty effort to save it."

>"Besides, where are your men and appliances of war to contend against them? The Northern people not only greatly outnumber the whites at the South, but they are a mechanical people with manufactures of every kind, while you are only agriculturists--a sparse population covering a large extent of territory, and in all history no nation of mere agriculturists ever made successful war against a nation of mechanics. ...

>"The North can make a steam-engine, locomotive or railway car; hardly a yard of cloth or shoes can you make. You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical and determined people on earth--right at your doors. You are bound to fail. Only in your spirit and determination are you prepared for war. In all else you are totally unprepared..."

-William Sherman to a Louisiana Professor before the Civil War

>Why did the south lose the war?
Technologically backwards in comparison, tiny industrial output compared to the north, smaller population, the North finally found some generals who weren't squeamish, etc. The best part is Britain's cotton plantations in India would have destroyed their economy in 20 years.

Why did the war begin?

I was thought by internet that it was a war of Slavery vs. Anti-Slavery

Agrarian economy versus indastrial one.

We should have let them secede then crash and burn in the following decades.

It's funny that some americans consider this like wearing swastika
That disgusting Yankee propaganda really need to stop.

Plus their unwavering commitment to states rights robbed the central government of vital troops and supplies. It also made a united confederate patriotism a fiction for most people.

Smaller population and less industry.

The Battle of Fredericksburg was the height of the war for the CSA. If the war was won here, the Civil War would not be remembered as a war to end slavery because the Emancipation Proclamation came in 1863.

The death of Stonewall Jackson was a heavy blow to the CSA because he had consistently won battles against seemingly impossible odds and was an important symbol for southern morale.

The Confederacy's main hope for survival was European intervention on their side (a lot of 1848 revolutionaries sympathized with the CSA). The Union opposed any European intervention, even in support of them, because they knew they would inevitably win a prolonged war.

The Union captured a British ship that had two Confederate diplomats and it looked like Britain was guaranteed to join on the side of the Confederacy. Yet, Lincoln somehow managed to resolve the issue diplomatically, and no one knows exactly how he did it to this day.

If they Europeans did enter on the side of the Confederacy, most states would've probably become independent eventually and the States of America would probably be of similar global importance to New Zealand. Today there likely would've been a strong European economic and political influence in America instead of vice versa. The US would've also very unlikely entered either world war (assuming there would still be a second one).

North became industrialized. South wasn't. They relied heavily on slave labor and liberating slaves would cause a economic crisis. It would also caused a social crisis because blacks would be free.
Don't let those slack jawed southerners convince you other wise. It wasn't about "muh s-state rights", it was about slavery.

KARA BOGA>whitebois

The South is still hurting from the War of Northern Aggression. It decimated their working male population, uprooted the basis of their economy, put them under military rule, and ensured that their way of life would never be the same.
Even more the Yankee continued to overturn every social system that came about post slavery.

This. Throughout history, all wh*Toid regimes that have set themselves up against KARA BOGA have been doomed to defeat

The end of slavery was not a war aim of the North until it became miltarily necessary. The South fought the war to protect slavery (states rights play a part in this) and, to a lesser extent, for Southern honor. The North fought the war to preserve the union.

The North had the power of the BBC

yank arrogance is timeless i see

I see trailer parks have internet.
