Even though this is kinda off topic...I guess I will through my two
cents
in.  First...I thought Turtledove wrote Guns of the South....maybe not.
I agree that there was no way the South could have won a military
victory...It could have possibly made Lincoln and his generals
look bad enough to cause the North to pull out of the war.
