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.
