........the only thing the yankee's feared more than Gen Forrest was all out guerilla warfare. I believe it would have worked and worked well. The North had a gut full of the war and was in no mood for a long drawn out guerilla war. The South would have an advanage is such a war. They were on their home truf and knew the country well and would have had the full support of the general population. Sounds like a winner to me
