After reading about Gustave Paul Cluseret my first thought was "how cool would it have been if this guy lead France?" And then I got to thinking, what if another foreign volunteer did somehow do that? I'll admit my knowledge of the many Civil War generals is pretty nonexistent, and so I came to you guys for this trivial little idea
Can it be done? Can a foreign volunteer become a President, Prime Minister, or even a King or Emperor of a nation? How would they change their nations foreign policy considering they fought on the Unions side? How would Americans see and receive a former Union soldier as a another countries leader?
