What if Robert E. Lee, the Confederate States' most famous general during the American Civil War, had been shot atop his horse in one of the engagements of the Siege of Petersburg in 1864? If i'm not mistaken, he charged alongside his cavalrymen at the Battle of Chaffin's Farm in September, so there's a PoD opportunity there.
Considering how the war was pretty much lost by that point for the Confederate States, who would Jefferson Davis appoint as General in Chief for 1865 instead?
Would a more stubborn set of generals, alongside Lee's martyrdom, encourage CSA troops to continue fighting to the bitter end against Union forces? There was a thread recently dealing with the possibility of a protracted guerrilla war in the Deep South, and from my judgement, such a problem seemed like a possibility in the minds of the Union's generals, until Lee personally surrendered at Appomattox.
