The honor nml glory of this great strugfflo
was with tho south, mid southorn soldiers
ought, in justice to themselves and their dead
comrades, to preserve tho memory of It.
Whllo the north and northern soldiers aro In
veighing against nil manifestation of Bccttonal
feeling, thoy aro erecting monuments to their
successful leaders and telling tho story very
much to their credit and to our dctrlmont.
Tho north had mora than four soldiers to ono
In tho south. Its armies wero reinforced and
nsslstcd by 000 ships of war, mnnned by IKi.OOO
sailors. It had unlimited credit, which meant
nn unlimited supply of money. It had fac
tories to manufacture everything needed to arm
and equip, to supply and maintain Its armies
and fleets. It had railroads running la ovory di
rection for tho transportation of Its troops. It
had Intercourse with tho wholo world nnd could
draw recruits for Its army and navy from tho
whole world. Tho south hnd none of these ad
vantages, or hnd them only to a limited extent.
Hut, notwithstanding nil its advantages, It took
tho north four years to crush tho south and
then It did It by a grinding process and without
having gained a single decisive victory.
