Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Make no mistake, the Confederacy had the will and valor to fight. But the Union had the manpower, the money, the materiel, and, most important, the generals. Although the South had arguably the best commander in the Civil War in Robert E.
