robert e lee

An idea I've seen floated around by some CSA Victory tls is that Robert E. Lee eventually becomes President. No doubt he could do it, I mean Confederate Victory kinda relies on him, but would he even want to run? If he does run, how would a Lee Presidency go? Lee personally opposed slavery, but...

I was reading a book about the Battle of the Wilderness in 1864, and it takes note of a particularly dangerous situation for the Confederate high command: Lee, alongside (if I remember correctly) Jubal Early and/or A.P. Hill ran into a Union platoon and almost got fired on. Much later in the...

What if the Union decided to be more harsh on the rebels after the fact, and exile the Confederate leadership and their immediate families from the united states after the end of the Civil War? How would this effect things in both the South and the Union going forward? What would it's Impact on...

Author's Note: This timeline is written with the assistance of Earl J. Hess's overview of Braxton Bragg's career, which presents a more favourable view of him than most. As you can probably infer it is the result of my mentally comparing Bragg and Lee, and given that they were reassigned to...

Suppose that the Confederates win at Gettysburg and take Philadelphia (Just assume the Union sues for peace after a panic attack). After the peace, what happens to Robert E. Lee ? Would he be seen as a second Washington ? Would he become President ?

What if Robert E. Lee, the Confederate States' most famous general during the American Civil War, had been shot atop his horse in one of the engagements of the Siege of Petersburg in 1864? If i'm not mistaken, he charged alongside his cavalrymen at the Battle of Chaffin's Farm in September, so...

Inspired by the thread Robert E Lee stays entirely neutral, I wrote a comment about a proposal for a Robert E Lee who instead of fighting in the American Civil War, fights in the Paraguayan War. The idea was that he could fight on any 4 sides. Is this possible? I really hope it is because this...

So what if some union solder got a lucky shot at Lee and killed him during the Battle of Antietam? How does the Confederacy react? Who replaces him? Does the Civil War still end in a Union victory? How does this effect Lincoln? Is he still assassinated at the end of the war? How long will the...

As I would presume that most of us know, the PoD for Turtledove's magnum opus is that the three Union soldiers who found Lee's Special Order 191 in OTL did not find it in TL-191; such being the case, McClellan was unable to surprise Lee at Antietam, and was instead surprised by Lee at Camp Hill...

After several months of looking around, obsessively reading everyone's timelines, and trying to contribute to the best of my limited abilities, I have finally endeavored to try and write my own. I cannot promise frequent updates, insane in-depth research, or even a plausible scenario. All I...
