Question: do any books deal with the subject of what would have happened if the Confederacy was successful? Would it have become a jumping off point for foreign interference (ie. British/French) in North America once again? Would it have held together? What would the economy have looked like 20 or 40 years on?

Curious

Two things come to mind on this date beyond what's already been discussed:

1). Mr. Davis was offerred the presidency of what became Texas A&M University. Although he turned that position down, it shows the good stuff of which Aggies are made since he was the first person considered for that honor. This fine gentleman would have been a great leader of that institution.

2). Threads such as these have become much more adult and civilized since the long-overdue zotting of homosexual defender and South hater Non-Sequitur.

Some friends and I are planning a trip to DC in April. On the way, we are going to visit Antietam, Harper’s Ferry, Gettysburg, Monocacy, and Gathland (site of the Battle of Crampton’s Gap, where my great-great-great-uncle, Private Stephen Treadwell of Co. F, 16th Georgia Infantry, ANV was mortally wounded). Then we are going to go down and visit Mount Vernon, the home of one of the original rebels, George Washington.
