I've thought quite a bit about this. Hate to feel like I'm playing God and then had to remember it's just a thought eh? I guess I'd stay close to home and have done a very short spell with Abe Lincoln.

If he had put a U. S. Grant in charge of the North at or near the beginning of the American Civil War, 100s of thousands young boys wouldn't had died for absolutely no reason. Plus the South wouldn't have suffered so much during reconstruction with some of the continuing ill feelings on both sides.

The plain stupidity/incompetance of McClellan, Pope, Burnside, Hooker, McClellan (his second stint), Meade, was just terrible. IMHO.
