Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Material Bearing of the Tennessee Campaign in 1862: Upon the Destinites of Our Civil War It is impossible to comprehend the tremendous importance of this plan without a knowledge of the military situation. In the autumn of ´61, the Confederate States had acquired an organization and consistency, strong enough to put in the field and maintain a military power too formidable to be overthrown by any power the National Government could bring against it, on any of the lines of operation known to the administration. If this rebel power could gain time to prepare for replenishing its warlike material by the creation of machine power, it was numerous enough and rich enough in intellectual and material resources to resist indefinitely, if not able to destroy the Union altogether. No blockade could so curtail its supplies of warlike material but what was rapidly being supplemented by the energies of the people. Could the National armies, however, penetrate the central region so as to break up their internal lines of connection and, at the same time, disorganize their industrial system, the Confederacy would be geographically cut in two, and their ability to create resources for large armies forever destroyed. General Scott´s View, &c. The popular opinion that the North, by its supposed superiority in numbers, wealth and intelligence, could readily weaken and reduce the South, yielded to sounder views. General Scott perceived, (and he was the greatest military authority at the time,) that 12,000,000 of people in a central position, with interior lines of communication, was on military principles, an over-match for 18,000,000, and he retired to West Point for the reason, perhaps, that he despaired of being able to conquer the rebellion.
