Here's something we do not see alot of, what if Stonewall Jackson supported the Union in the Civil War? Before anyone says this is impossible, its not as unlikely as it may appear. Jackson was a deeply religious man, who in spite of everything treated blacks fairly well compared to others of his day, and he was born in a part of Virginia which later became West Virginia, even his dear sister supported the Union during the war. Let us assume Jackson believes the way the rest of western Virginia does, and accepts a post to the Army of the Potomac in the wars beginning.

Even though the Army of the Potomac is poorly led, Jackson is still brilliant enough to stand out, lets again assume McClellan is canned by Lincoln, who then turns his hopes to Jackson, promoting him to Major General and giving him command of the Army of the Potomac in late 1862, how does the war play out with General Jackson leading the Union Army and General Lee leading the Confederate Army?
