Drink and brawl.
One theory is that Confederate morale suffered during the long intervals between battles, because they were naturally combative men who loved a good fight.
John 'Grey Ghost' Mosby, one of the principal keepers of the Lost Cause legend, claimed that this cost them the war. He actually theorised that if Grant had got his way in 1862, and been allowed to pursue the Confederate armies all the way to Alabama and the sea, the South would have won.

∙ 7y agoWhen not on the march or engaged in battle the typical Confederate soldier relaxed, played cards with each other, helped their injured comrades and of course dreamed about life after the war was over. This was true of the Union soldiers.
The idea of generals feuding was small "stuff" compared to threatened court martials, treason, and even talk of a military Dictatorship that enveloped the Union high command.
