AHC:CSA President William Quantrill

Any ideas how we can get William Quantrill as president of the CSA? (yes, I know he died before the end of the war, but I figure that any POD that allows the CSA to survive long enough for someone of Quantrill's age to be considered can easily butterfly his death...

I don't see this as possible in any scenario. If the Confederacy wins the war, the ruling elite will turn their back on such a disreputable character as Quantrill.
 
Wasn't Quantrill responsible for a massacre or two out in the western theather of the ACW?

Yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Quantrill

Quantrill was a hate-filled, blood-thirsty man. I can't imagine any plausable scenario, other then his leading the violent overthrow of the CSA government, by which he would become (or even be considered for) the presidency of the CSA.
