As per this Cracked.com article in December of 1826, in response to the West Point Superintendent's ban on alcohol, the cadets staying in the North Barracks smuggled in four kegs worth of whiskey kicking off a drunken bender that would end with the trashing of the Barracks by the cadets. As punishment the superintendent expelled 19 randomly chosen cadets.

Two of the cadets involved in these college shenanigans were Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.

What would happen if they were two of the nineteen given the boot for drunk and disorderly conduct in extremis?
