Did the South Have a Chance?

     Today we looked at what strengths, weaknesses, and strategies both the Confederacy and the Union had and used. So when the war began, did the South ever really have a chance to win? Forget for a moment that you know how the war will end (spoiler alert, the Union does). As the war started out, was it foolish for the South to think they could win? Support your argument with some details from today's discussion. You can also discuss whether or not the war should be fought at all...in other words, should the North simply have allowed the Confederacy to exist separately?

P.S. Remember that you must answer this by making your own post (do not just comment this one). Then comment at least one other person's post either agreeing or disagreeing with them and why. This needs to be done by Sunday night midnight
