Had history taken a different turn, I believe that Gen. Lee may well have become President of this country and we would be a better nation for it.
Thank you, Mr. Lott.
(just joking)
He probably would have been the President of the Southern nation, the Confederate States of America, w/ its capitol in Montgomery, AL. The northern states would have remained as they were. There is no doubt in my mind that BOTH nations would have been better had the South won its right to secede.
