Well, the North and the South both fucked up a lot, so it's hard to say in terms of tactics.

As far as who was in the right? I ain't touching that with a 20 foot pole.

I'd say a 35 foot pole at the very least.

Both the Union and the Confederates weren't anything special. The Union obviously won the war, but did a shitty-ass job keeping the peace. So I must say Britain and France for not intervening on the South's behalf. If they did, the South would win the war.

The South lost the war, but mostly due to the North's strategic advantages (better industry and navy). However, tactically, South had cooler generals and cooler soldiers.

The South had more heart, but the North was stronger.

You have a very odd definition of "cool." Do me a favor--never refer to me as cool.
