The North was indisputably more affluent and developed, yes. A war with the North was the last thing the South wanted. They just wanted to stop being tyrannized by the federal government.
The North outnumbered them 2-1 and with all of their military infrastructure still came away from the war with far more casualties. Lincoln literally had to gulag journalists reporting on the war to prevent public support from sinking into the abyss in order to keep the war going. Had he not brutally suppressed free speech the Northern war effort would have come to a screeching halt due to the public realizing how catastrophically poorly the war was going. The North sold their soul to defeat the Confederacy.
The South lost. But they absolutely fought like hell.
Way to miss the point entirely.
Wait, are we really doing the corny “Democrats were the real racists” thing and not pointing out that the confederates quite literally outfought the North and only really got sieged out?
Of course the democrats are racists. Why else would they think people need help to compete?
