The South was unable to trade or import/export after the Union had blockaded the ports of the South. The south also had very few factories to provide necessary guns, amunition ,uniforms ,and most of all shoes. The South had only 8500 miles of railroad compared to the North's 21000 miles connecting all of its major and important cities, enabling the North to quickly and easily move supplies and soldiers around.

The end result was pretty much what one would expect when an amateur army (IRA) tried to take on professional soldiers face to face. Subsequently there have been 3 inquiries. The first two held while memories and witnesses were fresh (and protected) cleared the army. The third held many years later and with no protection left for witnesses blamed them. Subsequent to this photographs have emerged of Martin McGuiness ( a "witness" who blamed the soldiers) proving he was IRA a bombmaker and a weapon supplier to those attacking soldiers -
