This video (at around 34:00) mentions a proposal, made by Longstreet just after the victory at Chancellorsville, to send a corps or more of Confederate troops to the West, where the CSA was in trouble. Lee favored an invasion of the North (again), & got his way.

WI he hadn't?

Obviously, there would be no battle at Gettysburg.

What Confederate victories in the West might there be TTL that didn't happen OTL?

Would it have meant any Federal victories in the East that didn't happen OTL?

Would it have lengthened the war at all? Or ultimately not made any difference?
