Confederate Short Stories
Confederate Historic Fiction is a scenario whereby it is imagined that history has taken a different course, thereby we can see how things might have turned out, for better or worse. It might be noticed for example, that under a large number of circumstances, a single individual was responsible, for altering the course of history.
The great “what ifs” of history come to mind, for example what if Abraham Lincoln had never been born? What if Jefferson Davis had entered the 1860 Presidential race and defeated Abraham Lincoln? What if General Thomas J. “Stonewall” Jackson had lived and lead his army into Gettysburg, a three-day battle, fought on 1-3 July 1863.
Most historians would agree Stonewall Jackson’s presence, would have likely turned the tide of battle in favor of the Confederacy. General Robert E. Lee would then have marched the Army of Northern Virginia against the then mostly undefended Washington DC, and dictated terms of surrender to Abraham Lincoln. One man made all the difference in the outcome of history!
