Did the South Have a Chance? Response

I believe the South had a slim, but possible chance of winning the Civil War. The South's strengths outweighed their weaknesses. One of these strengths was the South's ability to trade cotton.Being able to trade cotton meant being able to gain foreign support. This is an example of the colonists in the Revolutionary War. They could receive supplies or maybe even receive soldiers. Another strength the South had was better generals and more experienced soldiers. This means they would have a better chance at winning major battles. Having the home field advantage is also another vital strength for the South. This would mean the North would have to fight in unfamiliar territory. The final strength the South had was motivation. Motivation means they had a reason to fight and to continue with the war. Again this is also similar to the the colonists in the Revolutionary War. The colonists were able to hold out as a long as possible, which is similar to the South's plan to wait out the North. Overall I believe the South had a reasonable chance of winning this war.
