had "our barefooted lads in gray rags" won the fight in PA, they'd be paying taxes to Philadelphia,PA. (capitol of the People's Socialist Nanny-states of Amerika!)

I don't have a clue what you are trying to say. Are you implying the South would have moved the Capitol to Philadelphia,PA?

not at all.

the south did NOT wish to conquer the north, EVER.

our forefathers in Richmond just wanted to be FREE.

i believe the north would have quickly moved their capitol to Philly after an armistice, as DC would have been within direct-fire range of Arlington County, VA, CSA.
