Was guerrilla warfare a possible strategy to prevent the Union from claiming a total victory over the Confederacy?
Just before General Lee's surrender at Appomattox, some Southern generals believed that the possibility for an extensive strategy of guerrilla warfare might be able to avoid a total defeat in the war. Confederate General E. Porter Alexander proposed that Lee's remaining troops retreat into the vast interior of the South. Leaders of the guerrilla forces would also return to their native states and work with the governors to bargain for the best possible surrender "deal".The guerrilla forces could and would convince the North to settle an agreeable cease fire with the South. General Alexander saw only a total Southern defeat if his plan was not at least tried.
