What if? What if?

I keep thinking , what might have happened if the South could have stolen more guns and ammo from the North. Or if another country would have come to the aid of the South.
What if? What if? It eats at me.

I wonder, what if the South would have had more money.
This is a military strategy used even today, financially cripple a people, then invade.

It's likely that they would've gone much further. They tried to get Political Support from England but Old Abe made sure we didn't.
