General Robert E. Lee is regarded by many historians as a brilliant commander and soldier. He would lead a spirited fight to the bitter end for the southern army, and afterwords he would become an icon of the lost cause. But before the war, Lee was offered a role as Major General in the Unionarmy for the defense of Washingtion, an offer he would of course decline. But what if he had accepted it? How would this effect the war? How would other confederate general like Jackson, Longstreet, Forest, Johnston and Stuart fare against the Lee and the other Union generals? Where would Grant and Sherman fall in this scenario? I personally have little idea what this could look like. Any suggestions?
