YouTube Description
as posted by the channel"Whipping out a bigger checkbook won't win the war" (Jonathan Parshall). This video looks at the various political and military strategies that Union leaders came up with in order to defeat the Confederacy during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Through examining their assumptions, goals and actual execution, we can begin to understand A) why the Union took so long to win despite their resource advantages, and B) how they ultimately did so.
Army numbers, positions and campaign paths are for illustrative purposes (or else Northern Virginia would have been a right mess).
