The Confederate Army, at its peak strength, contained half the troops of the Union army. Can you raise 1.07 million troops?
The Confederates had about a third the wealth of the Union. Can you raise $33 trillion?
The Confederates had about half the Union's agricultural capacity in wheat and corn to feed their troops. Can you grow about 30 million tons of wheat and 7 billion bushels of corn?
The Confederates had about as much livestock as the Union. Can you round up 47 million head of cattle?
The Confederates had about a fifth the Union's manufacturing capacity. Can you commandeer 60,000 factories to support your war?
Civil war? Don't make me laugh.
What you're threatening is a tantrum with a body count.
