Yes and a group made up of many people from Penn. went down to Virginia at a place called Bull Run (Manassas Junction for all you southerners) and got sent packing thanks largely to a guy nicknamed "Stonewall". That guy was by far the most brilliant general of the war and had he not been shot by friendly fire the whole war may have ended very differently. He was that good.

Lee was pretty good too. Starting at the Wilderness in Va. and on to Spotsylvania and again on to the Chickahominy River, Lee's smaller army pulverized the larger and better equipped northern troops. Grant had thought that sending more armies and larger armies into the war would overwhelm the south. Instead he just sent more men to their deaths - a lot of them. He famously wrote later that, " “I have always regretted that the last assault at Cold Harbor (in the Chickahominy River battle) was ever made.”

The north won because they had the factories to build guns. Go figure. Those factories are in the south now.

States rights issues are popping up again especially in Califateia. Let's hope cooler heads prevail this time.
