So I’m reading a book right now, Lincoln’s Generals by T. Harry Williams and I’ve found it very interesting to say the least. So it made me wonder, what are alternate scenarios anyone would have in mind on how the Union could've won the Civil War?
And a somewhat unrelated question, I read that twice before he accepted it that Ambrose Burnside refused to be appointed Commander of the Army of the Potomac once when McClellan retreated from Richmond to Harrison’s Landing and right before Antietam. I also want to know what would happen if he accepted either of those and how that could change things.
