This thread is inspired by an article in an ACW mag I read yest- which was discussing how the widespread guerilla warfare which occurred throut the South has been very neglected by historians, due to the main focus being on the big setpiece battles such as Antietam, Gettysburg, etc. 1 contributor to that article speculated- WI the Union had won a quick resounding victory at 1st Bull Run which destroyed the Confederate army in the field- but could a mass guerilla movement have then started throut the CSA instead of there being a definitive decisive US victory which restores the entire Union ?
