If Stonewall doesnt die...
That was the whole point to the Pennsylvania campaign, to force the North to sue for peace.

Lee made the biggest blunder of Gettysburg, and his entire military career.
Pickett's Charge was a suicide charge that cost Lee an entire division.
When told to regroup his division. Pickett replied, "General, I have no division."
George Pickett never forgave Lee. Until the day he died he said, "that old man slaughtered my division."

Agree, Jackson takes the high ground day one at Gettysburg. The battle goes differently. Maybe the South gets the yankees to the negotiating table. It is not a certainty but interesting to think about. No doubt had the South won we would look a lot more like the founding fathers intended.

I think the South wins the Battle of Gettysburg with Jackson. He would have taken Little Roundtop and the held the high ground.
Having Jackson in command likely would have extended the war, but it was a war the South couldn't win.
