It seemed so - both sides knew they were going to win!
What was irrational was the Confederate refusal to surrender until they were barefoot and starving. As soon as Lincoln won the General Election of 1864, the Confederates were doomed. But they just weren't the kind of people to surrender for that reason.
Think of cynical old Rhett Butler deciding to join the army right at the end, when all was lost. Try that for irrational!
