Thank you ...To Be Fair, He Doesn't Capitalize the First Letter of Every Word.
Probably ...How much of this thread actually has to do with the civil war at this point? Is most of it about the grammar socialist?

Which, by definition, needs Lee or Johnston or even both to deal with Sherman and Grant with enough effectiveness to cost Lincoln the Election.
For Johnston this means, at the least, preventing the fall of Atlanta before the election but to be absolutely certain of securing his aims and the downfall of Mr. Lincoln Johnston has to achieve a clear cut victory over Sherman. He could do this at Dalton and Resaca if Joe Wheeler does his job but even if Wheeler actually does his job victory there would only be defensive and even though Leonidas Polk's Army has joined in Johnston's defensive line Johnston still does not have the manpower available to him to secur any major, campaign ending victory over Sherman, even if Hood doesn't cock up the Cassville assault (whether his reasons for doing so are sensible or not). Sherman has the ability to reinforce in a way that Johnston can only dream of so any damage done by him will be temporary and as long as Sherman is able to continue his advance and Johnston is seen to be retreating then even if Sherman is getting mauled on a few occasion it wont turn the election against Lincoln.
For Lee it means nothing less than the defeat of Grant and the expulsion of the Federals from Virginia once more. Grant will just keep coming and coming and coming until he comes out on top and the people in the Union are not so nieve that they would not realise this. The only way for the election to be lost in Virginia is to have Grant so utterly defeated by Lee that he will have to withdraw out of Virginia and rebuild his Armies and that's close to ASB.
Political Victory for the Confederacy in 1864 resides in the abilities of the Generals in the field to do enough damage to the Federal Armies and have enough success that opinions of the Northern People will turn in favor of ending the war and negotiating for peace as there is no way at this stage of the war that Britian or France would ever recognise at wounded and dying 1864 Confederacy.
The only hope of the Confederacy in 1864 for a political victory over the Union is the northern people being war weary and wanting peace but this can only occur in 1864 if Lee and Johnston can be much more successful against Grant and Sherman and that is more or less an impossibility.
