Further, they calculated that, if permission was denied and war came, theSouth would win its independence by arms.At that time, the Southern states were outnumbered by the Northern states in population, wealth, and all the greatindustries necessary to provide the sinews of wars. 18 It was expected that Great Britain would need cotton tokeep her mill wheels turning and would intervene in support of the Confederacy. 19 In addition, it was widelybelieved in the South that Northern farmers and mechanics would not fight; or, if they did, that they would beoutmatched by Southern valor. 20 In the opening months of 1861 few, if any, Confederates could foresee howvain such expectations would turn out to be.
