i agree with hellcat, the south lost the war because of lack of supply, which you could say was a direct result of the andaconda plan. But can anyone disagree that if the south had an equal footing in the war in reference to man power and supply that the war most likely would have sided with the south? The war lasted so long because the south had winning generals before the north did, at least in the east. The east was the heart of both armies, you could destroy the rest of the body but the heart would continue to beat. By taking Richmond and destroying the ANV the north would have killed the confederacy almost immediately due to morale... and the same goes the other way around.

But the heart can't beat without a supply of energy. For the Confederacy, that energy was coming from the West. Virginia's supplies were used up. North Carolina was holding onto her supplies. South Carolina never had much. When the West was won by the North, the heart would beat only so long as the energy at hand would last. That was only a few months.
