What if Lee had avoided defeat at Gettysburg? What if a stalemate had developed along with anti-war sentiment? What if Lincoln had been defeated in the 1864 election and Britain had recognised the Confederacy? What would have happened to an independent Confederate States of America and a defeated United States? Here a master of historical analysis follows the consequences of the "what if" scenario and gives us the fascinating, convincing and insightful outcomes of his counterfactuals.
