And yes, of course?

I've never said you don't need an economy for an army

The CSA thoguht they were financially independent enough

They were hoping the European powers would intervene

on their behalf

"because them southerners cotton were worth it"

Yes, that is true, they believed it would occur, however British distaste for slavery as well as technological advancements meant this never happened

Wasn't even a distaste for slavery

it was the fact that British had access to Egyptian Cotton and Indian cotton

But that's another topic

The Confederate States simply lost was because they lost the Western Front.

It was a mixture. Minor military aid for another source of cotton would have been a sound investment for the British but yea it's another topic

Because despite that the east-confederate state are financially sound

a majority of western-confederate states were not

meanwhile in the north

the western and eastern northern states were all financially sound enough to wage a war

The Confederates lost because they didn't have the industrial capacity nor manpower to replenish losses, meanwhile the USA did

which was in the west

The Confederates and Union were stalemating at the Eastern Front

but the real decisive blow was at the Western Front

where Sherman's March to the Sea decisively ended the war.

It was everywhere to be fair, some were much better off but it would have failed either way. Even if only, say, the Eastern states only declared their own group of states, they'd still most likely have lost

i doubt it

This exact reason was, in fact, why Lee made his terrible choice as Gettysburg. He believed the only way to win the war was an absolutely crushing defeat against the Union and that no matter how many battles he "won" he'd always be losing as he could not replenish his men or supplies, hence his charge and subsequent annihilation

The Confederacy just needed the 4 border states

to join them

but they never did

Lincoln ensured that

"any fucker trying to secede will be hung for treason"

Even made West Virginia

There were more reasons than just Lincoln for the border states not succeeding

>than just lincoln

wtf

There were literally secession movements starting in the border states

had lincoln not announced he was gonna hang every seceders by the noose

Those border states would have divided

and we would have more than just west virginia

south kentucky north kentucky

All of these would have driven the American Civil War to a longer war

Yes but they were not as widely supported as in the South, it's that simple. Perhaps Lincoln put the nail in the coffin but his threats didn't exactly stop other states from succeeding

Because for those southern states they already hated lincoln to the gut
