>The Confederate states were hopelessly outmatched

Bruh, you just watched a literal pre-industrial society defeat Americans not even four years ago.

Saying that the South was fighting an uphill battle and that winning would have essentially required both Federalizing their government and dismantling their own plantation-based system (which would have negated everything they were fighting for on an ideological and economic level) is fair enough. Saying that it was predestined to lose no matter what it did is just pure hubris though and that mindset was a contributing factor to why the Union did so poorly in the first half of the war.
