Next Confederate President

What list of Presidents could the Confederacy have between 1861 and 2004?
By the 2nd, or, at the latest, 3rd generation, its anybodies guess, as they'd all have butterflies for parents. Of course, many would likely be from influential families, so thats a start.

Lee and Jackson could easily get elected after a successful war, but you probably didn't need me to tell you that.

Judah Benjamin seems like a good bet, tho a long shot. Lee won't stand for office and it really is doubtful if Jackson would be truly good at anything off the battlefield or outside the classroom. Longstreet is frequently mentioned. The best suggestion would be to look at those that eventually did serve in Congress during the 1880s-1890s. GURPS Alternate Earths I mentions John Anderson, the president of Tredegar Ironworks as being the president that industrializes the Confederacy.

My point exactly. Most of these guys would never have been born.

Because alternate history,even these horrible ones like the CSA or Nazis surviving, would be really dull without any characters from OTL. It would be be like science fiction with no loud explosions in space-technically accurate but less fun.
 
Name of thread

I thought this tread was about something like this.

Bush is a Shoo in for election, Yes I know that Robert E. Lee III, the Senator from Viginia has locked up the Dixiecratic nomanation away from Gore, and has his Family name, going for him. But dispite the Yankee shurs, thrown at the Bushes, Jeb -was- born in Texas, and his family was a long time Whig/Federalist, even before his Grandfather immigrated. And ex president Wallace has endorsed him for the Georgia election next week. This will lock the nomanation.

Given the terrible events that happened to our Northern neighbor & Freind on 9-11. The Cliton-Gore administration had the Moral duty to send CSA troops to help in Saudia Under the NATO [North American Treaty Organization] treaty.

The Lee critisism of our expanding the war on terrorism, to go into Greater Jordan [Jordan/Syria/Lebonan] is self serving, remenber He lead the Senate figh/ attemp to allow Jeb Bush's Father , former president Bush, to send troops to repluse the annexation of Lebonan in 1991.

No -considering the canidates I'm going with Bush in 2004 and I want all My fellow Rednecks, in Georgia to turn out for our canidate.
 
"States Rights Gist 1886-1894"

Well, I have to admit that that is one of the stranger names I've seen lately. And he serves a 8 year term also. I think with Jackson Wilson's assassination your terms are thrown off. Wilson would have been elected in 1972 to serve a six year term ending in 1978. If he's assassinated in 1976 how can Carter serve as president from 1976-1982? Someone has to serve out the remainder of Wilson's term, 1976-78, which would be whoever would be his vice president. I think the remaining presidential terms are thrown off by about two years. You have to remember that the Confederate President is elected at a different time than the US President since you have Davis becoming President in 1862.
 
States Rights Gist was a C.S.A. general who died at the Battle of Franklin in our OTL. He was a member of an seccissionast states right family so thats what his father named him.

How about this Jimmy Carter is Wilsons Vice President so
Jimmy Carter 1976-1984
John Ashcroft 1984-1990
Bill Clinton 1990-1996
George Bush JR. 1996-2002
Sydney Jefferson Lee III 2002-present= his ancestors are Jefferson Davis and Robert E Lee

Would the C.S. be involved in a Iraqi war or something of that nature of thier own?
 
ConfederateFly, a few problems with your list ....

You have States Rights Gist serving 8 years instead of the standard Confederate 6.

Rooney Lee died in 1891 in OTL. I'm assuming he lives longer in yours.

John Breckenridge died in 1875 in OTL. Again, I assume he lives longer in yours.
