Too bad exactly 150 years ago today, Lee didn’t make a hard right turn toward DC. There would have been lots of nice flat land just north of Washington to meet our northern buddies in an arm wrestle. :)

Gettysburg should have been Rockville.

If you have ever war gamed the Civil War you see how much terrain makes a difference. Just the smallest slightest hill(rise) gives the defense a great advantage.

Lee is rumored to have had a mild heart-attack around the time of Gettysburg. Lee chose to fight at Gettysburg when advised, by his advisers and Generals, against doing so.
