Just started reading Gettysburg by Stephen Sears. Excellent analysis of the battle as well as the lead up and consequences. Its interesting to speculate about the many twists and turns of the 3 days that made up the battle, if things had gone a little differently, the world would be avery different place today. The Confederacy may have survived, very likely the North would have been taken over by the military, possibly even a dictatorship. In all possibility, the US influence on the world aould have been very different.
BTW a very well written history.
