How long would the Civil War go on for if the Confederacy used guerrilla warfare at the end?
Guerrilla warfare causes LESS casualties because it is SMALL unit operations. It's also less expensive (cheaper); it can also "border" on "terrorism"...as the targets are often non-combatants (read women and children, churches, schools, and shopping malls). Amongst one of the first "exposures" to the word "terrorist" was when the VC blew up a restaurant in Saigon. Naturally that made the front pages in the US, and the word "terrorist" was used. If the "Rebs" had stuck to guerrilla warfare; and not lost all their men (arms/ammunition) in those conventional battles...YEARS could've been added to the war.
What are the characteristics of guerrilla warfare?
Guerrilla warfare is the unconventional warfare and combat with which a small group of combatants use mobile tactics (ambushes, raids, etc.) to combat a larger and less mobile formal army. The guerrilla army uses ambush (draw enemy forces to terrain unsuited to them) and mobility (advantage and surprise) in attacking vulnerable targets in enemy territory.This term means "little war" in Spanish and was used for the first time in the Madrid Dos de Mayo Uprising. This tactic was widely used against Napoleon's armies in the Peninsular War, used by the Patriot against the British in the American Revolution, and used by the Viet Cong and North Vietnam Army in the Vietnam War.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Wikipedia) indicated below.

European style warfare is when the army stands in one big line with row after row of soldier. The first row fires and then ducks down to reload while the row behind them fires and so on. Guerrilla warfare is more adaptable and allows the soldiers to take cover and flank more easily. They can seek out enemy weakpoints.
