Wasn't it because he didn't have supplies or no..? I thought he lost a lot of men and they needed food and supplies.

To add: and defeating the North and ending slavery and sending the freed slave back to Africa would have made him worthy of a forever statue. He got almost 150 year statue for losing the war. Not many losers get that.

So true. I admire him much. He was actually an extremely intelligent, well spoken well tempered man. I'm practically in tears honestly.

Could have gotten all the supplies he needed in DC warehouses, and hung Lincoln and his cabinet to boot.
Wouldn't have mattered though. Especially if the south was going to keep slavery and bring more over instead of shipping them all back (freedom!).

Wow. I wasn't aware of that. Any good reads I can find on this that you can recommend?
