Since the Antebellum days, there has been a prevailing perception that the South holds a martial superiority over the North. In the years preceding the Civil War, Southern elites regarded Confederate soldiers as valiant cavaliers, while their Northern counterparts were perceived as mere brutish inductees. In an attempt to provide a balanced assessment, this book delves into the validity of this belief, examining the reasoning behind the belief in Southern military supremacy, the South's expectations of victory, and a cultural comparison of the antebellum North and South. The author evaluates various factors such as command leadership, battle efficiency, and the variables that influenced the outcomes of battles and campaigns. Additionally, the author analyzes which side faced the more challenging path to victory and demonstrated superior strategy.
