    A coworker once told me that the Confederacy couldn’t win because the North had the industrial advantage. I said that sounds like wisdom in English, but it’s a joke in Vietnamese.

    The North’s victory being inevitable is part of the lost cause Neo-Confederate myth. It’s purpose is to excuse the South’s loss and obscure the record of her military blunders.

      Pfft they had free labor.

      What, their slaves couldn’t crank out weapons, armor, and supplies as fast as our industry?

      Huh. Guess that means we’re better?
