Thanks for the comment. I think the one glaring shortcoming was his whole speculation at the end about the South suing for peace after Vicksburg. I think secession by itself meant crossing the Rubicon. The South could simply not turn back after it took that fateful step and I'm sure Davis and the others knew that. I admire Cleburne too. He was a truly forward-thinking person. His monograph on emancipation really might have made a difference had it been adopted.
