Forward Stars and Bars!!!

Agreed Hood was no good at commanding large amounts of men.
Jeb, although a cavalier at heart and very impulsive to charge ahead, he did keep Lee resonably well informed most of the time, (Famous ride around McClellan)

Agreed, there were some camps that were Babel, but the highest percentage spoke English.

Okay, I forgot the shopkeepers, granted

But the last points are just insane.

Grant and Sherman both were at Shiloh where the second largest amount of men were lost during the entire war. Thats where most of the Union soldiers saw the elephant. After that, they won most of the battles, (Some exceptions, namely at Chickamauga where Rosencrans pulled brigades to help Thomas but was run over by Hood)

Hood was a fighter, but in the bigger scope of things, you need more than fight (Johnson would get points with his delaying actions)

And the last point about the money.
The North always had more money, because they had industry.
The immigrants came to New York because thats were the industry was. The only gunpowder mill in the entire south was somewhere in Georgia. The North could also have always exploited its manpower by draft. If the South had the same amount of money, they could rarely use it, because of the blockade.
