Today virtually every child grows up learning that the earth orbits the sun. But four centuries ago, the idea of a heliocentric solar system was so controversial that the <em>Catholic Church classified it as a heresy, and warned the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei to abandon it.</em> The Google homepage pays homage today to Nicolaus Copernicus, the pioneering astronomer. Legend has it that Nicolaus Copernicus and the church were at odds over his development of the heliocentric theory, a principle that disputed the widely held belief that Earth was the center of the universe.

Defend until the North gave up--essentially the South believed they had more conviction than the North and that would win out. 

The South had an idea to fight for and believed they could survive on their own. The South relied on their ports and did not have as many supplies as the North but they had something to fight for. The North lacked morale and a mission. It was also believed by some that the South had the right to leave and the North had no right to stop them through military action.
