So I was recently reading up on this boss....Garibaldi. He was the man.
What shocked me besides hes travels and adventures was this offer made to him by Secretary of State Seward to become Major General's commission in the U.S. Army. Garibaldi sent a counter offer insisting on Commander in Chief of its armed forces if Lincoln declared at the time (Before emancipation proclamation) that the wars primary goal was the Establishment of slavery.
What if this counter offer is accepted and Garibaldi leads the Union army (If this is even possible) or on a lesser what if...what if he simply accepted the first proposal and worked from there?
