That darn Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine changed the course of history by narrowly defeating the rebels on little round top...if not for that, the South could have gone on to win the whole shootin’ match...and maybe remnants of our long since deceased Constitution would still remain. Before then, people said the United States are...now they say The United States is...

We might have an international border on the Ohio, and maybe a few others: perhaps New York City, California, New England, and Texas would be independent countries as well as the North and South. Maybe we'd have had a few more civil wars later on.

I doubt a Confederate victory would have "saved" the Constitution. We wouldn't have any more rights than we do now: or if "we" would, rest assured, some other "they" wouldn't.

Most likely people like us would be complaining about how those d*mn*d Confederates destroyed the "Old Republic" of 1787 and opened the way to government oppression.

"opened the way to more oppression"=====> inasmuch as oppression & attacks on our LIBERTY seem to come out of DAMNyankeeland, you post is nonsense & ignorant.

had it not been for the moderating influence of dixie congress-critters (as bad as some of them were/are) over the last 200+ years, the USA would be a fascist/socialist nanny-state.

How could they 'save' something they ignored with such regularity?
