i am thinking of doing an atl where longstreet goes west around july or august 1862. my theory is that so unforseen element puts bragg out of comission in late july 1862. i'm not really sure about how to put bragg out of the picture, although im thinking something along the lines of an accident...
I think its wonderful that people tend to say what they think cannot happen because it happen that way in our time line, but I think that in alternate history, who has the right to say what would or would not happen?
Case in point is the comment that blacks would not fight for the Confederacy...

I understand you all wanting me to get on with the atl already but i'm just trying to cover my rear by explaining the events that lead up to my atl because some events that happen in the west will affect what lee does in the east and vise verse. Please be patient, I will get to soon, but for...
Johnston assembled an impressive army at Corinth. It numbered around 50,000 men and was divided into four corps. He would have an even impressive army had he waited for Earl Van Dorn’s Army of the West which had been defeated at Pea Ridge in Arkansas, but he did not. Marching his men the 20...
I always try to a background that leads up to the atl in order to set the stage. also, the Chancellorsville battle is the same as otl, but not only is Jackson not killed, but also, hooker is wounded instead of stunned as in ot. I will try to put more up later on.
