Famous People From An Alternate World-CSA Wins The Civil War (19th Century)

[glenn67]

With the inspiration (and same rules) from the Axis Wins World War II, we each write a short biography of a famous person from OTL 19th century.

And one important ground rule: The Confederate States of America remains an independent nation to this present day.

I will start off....

Robert E. Lee
Military hero of the U.S. Civil War and one of the Founding Fathers of the CSA. In 1867, Lee won the election to succeed Jefferson Davis as President of the CSA. Under Lee's Presidency, the Railroad Construction and Confederate Judiciary Acts became law and a Constitional Amendment was ratified for the manumission of black slaves in the CSA which included a clause that all blacks born on January 1, 1872 and thereafter will be free. The last slave would be manumitted by 1879.

Ulysses S. Grant
Regarded by historians as one of the worst military leaders for the Union, General Grant resigned from the Army in disgrace in 1865 and died an alcoholic in 1868.

Andrew Johnson
Senator and military governor of Tennessee during the Civil War, Johnson was President Abraham Lincoln's running mate for the unsuccessful 1864 National Unity ticket. Johnson was able to prevent Tennessee from joining the Confederacy after the Civil War (Kentucky did vote to join the CSA in 1866). During President McClellan's second term, Johnson served as US Secretary of State. After McClellan left office in 1873, Johnson returned to the Senate in 1874 and served until his death a year later.
