As i understand it, during the Wilderness Campaign, Hancock's corps almost annihilated A. P. Hill's corp, and in doing so almost came close to capturing Lee, until a Texas brigade came forth and changed the course of the Battle by shielding Lee and reinforcing the beleaguered confederate corps.
But, if Hancock pushed harder, could he have captured General Lee? So, my question is what happens now? In the north itself it would be a significant blow against Peace Democrats and pacifists alike. Confederate strategy after Lee's capture and how long do they last?

Elsewise...is there another way to capture Lee during that war, and perhaps knock him out?
