  1. I tend to agree with you. The "civil war " was the bloodiest war in American history. There was a lot of war weariness in America at that time. After the battle of Appomattox General Robert E. Lee told his troops who wanted to keep fighting in a guerrilla type war against the north to stand down and accept the defeat because he knew it was not only useless but no good could come from it, but only make things worse. General Lee does not get enough credit for this. Who knows how long a guerrilla type war would have gone on? Parts of the country had been devastated especially in the states of Virginia and Georgia.
