How possible is the election of John J. Pershing to the office of President? What if at the convention in 1920, the Republicans had nominated Pershing? Would he have been able to beat Cox? And if he did, because I mean it is Cox, what would a Pershing Presidency be like? An earlier national highway, less dismantling of the military in the 1920's and how would his opinion of blacks change American racial policy? Probably wouldn't be that different but having a racially tolerant president would be far different administration then his predecessor's.
