On the first day of the "Seven Days" battle that drove back McClellan from Richmond - June 25, 1862 - President Jefferson Davis rode out to see the fighting. Lee rebuked him, saying "Any exposure of a life like yours is wrong"; a few moments later, a soldier nearby was killed by a Union shell.
What if that shell had hit Davis instead?
What would have happened to the Confederacy as a whole with a President Stephens who gave more respect to states' rights and sought terms, and perhaps even with a new military commander since Lee had been appointed mere days before our PoD?
