Confederate soldier vs Pirate?

Would you please stop playing deadliest warrior with yahoo answers? Pretty please? The TV series has nothing to do with history, martial arts or actual combat and neither do these questions. The weapon selections are arbitrary, the history simply isn't history and the actual results are meaningless. The answer to who would win in a one on one fight in any situation is sadly down to luck and to the abilities of the actual individuals involved. Wars and battles are not won by individual warriors.
