Sorry but the poor state of many railroads in Dixie was one reason that 
meant they hadn't really got much chance in defeating the Union in a long 
war of attrition.

Both the Confederacy and the Japanese in WW2 tried to win against superior 
forces, using a knock-out blow and much better generals. Both failed because 
the blow failed to achieve total history and the were then worn down by the 
side with greater productive capacity.
