Abridged American Civil War

Well, 1880 was a conventional loss; 2000 there was the Florida fiasco, and 1960 the split of the Old Democratic Party. And lets not get into the abortion that was the Election of 1876 and the subsequent Compromise of 1877.

Now that I'm thinking about it Howard was probably the senior Corps commander in the field, but Meade had enough confidence in Hancock that he had command of the units in the field after Reynolds death on the first day of Gettysburg.

Howard's set back at Chancellorsville aside, both were good generals. But Hancock's aggressive streak would certainly be a plus in this spot. Hell if he wasn't wounded he would be in better shape to participate in the Overland Campaign the next spring with Grant.

Hancock is very overlooked, but fortunately he has a major role in TL in progress.

Howard was considered to be a very able Corps Commander, however, it was thought that he would be a poor Army Commander.

Looking forward to reading your time line, Matt. I have been a Hancock "fan"
ever since I saw Gettysburg and read "The Killer Angels". Brian Mallon does an excellent job portraying him.
