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!).

Shelby Foote (RIP) has some good books on the southern side, and was one hell of a writer. I don't remember which ones I read right now. I will look through my old books and see if I can find their names and send you a PM if I do.
Here is an interesting take from him on this very matter of statues btw:
