How would the American Civil War have progressed differently if the Confederates didn't attack Washington, D.C.? IOTL the assault was catastrophic, with thousands of Rebel soldiers killed, captured, missing, or wounded, despite Lee's strong generalship.
Would the Civil War have ended much later than it did? Would there be a greater sentimentality for the CSA when the war ended, or would people still be calling for Robert E. Lee's head on a platter?
