[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 2099416, member: 2415"] I agree with you. The Union did not even exert itself in fighting two fronts. The Secessionists were at nearly 100% conscription while the Federals didn't even break 50%. The manufacturing output of Richmond was 85% of the entire Rebel Army, but it was like 2% of the Union. The war was a mismatch before it began. That's why JD must have pushed so hard in Pennsylvania/Harrisburg. If not for the devastation at Gettysburg, his delay at Vicksburg may have been worthwhile if Lee took Philadelphia. The Rebels had nothing but shock and audacity on their side. If they had scared the Union into letting them be, who knows how it could've turned out. However, I have to think that the Civil War would've been rekindled a million times over afterward, and ultimately the end result would be the same. [/QUOTE]
