Both sides were extremely self-confident, and believed that they would have a victory in a couple weeks or less.
all war is difficult to the people of a nation, however civil war is more difficult because everyone is involved, it splits apart families and friend ships, and in the end both sides lose to much for there to be a real victory
Great Generals
Both sides thought it would a short, glorious and largely bloodless affair of splendid uniforms and bands, ending in early victory. See Sherman's letters to Southern friends, warning them of what was really to come.

I'm thinking that you refer to Verdun. No victory there, not for the French, not for the Germans. Just an awful lot of dead bodies on both sides.....

Chinese General Guo and Obama recently declaring the Korean War as a "victory." Both have their reasons, as the Chinese view it was a victory because they were able to successfully repel the "Imperialist aggression" led by US troops. As for the Americans, view it as a victory because their main objective was forcing back the Northern aggressors. and helped create a prosperous country (S. Korea) while (N.Korea) is a dump... Both sides view it as a "victory" of the Korean War, however it is rather a loss for the Koreans, who wanted a united country...
