The South got its ass kicked, IIRC.
I don't recall that from my history lessons.

Would you care to cite examples where with comparably sized elements, the Confederate forces lost?

I can provide numerous cases of more numerous and better equipped Federal foces failing miserably.

The Yankees probably had more lawyers in their ranks. There were several particularly incompetent ones in command at various levels. I'll have to see if any share your last name.
