Since there was no way to win in a attrition war, the Confederacy had to use its (at least innital) military superiority, especially in officers, to defeat the Union. There were some Civil War battles that are considered key or turning points, like Gettysburg, Vickysburg, and Antietam. The CSA HAD to win several of these battles (if not all) to win the war and achieve independence. With that in mind, which battles would be the minimum necessary to achieve Victory by either breaking the Union Spirit or getting a foreign intervention ?
