He wanted ‘justice’, but he did not want revenge. He said that the peace must not be harsh– that would just cause another war in a few years time. He tried to get a ‘halfway point' – a compromise between Wilson and Clemenceau.

The answer is false because the confederates won more battles, so that implies that they had better strategies...not that they had a better cause though...
Hope this helps!
