If Lee Had Not Won Gettysburg

In December 1930, Sir Winston Churchill, at age 56, wrote his version of what might have been, If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg. He started with the postulation that Lee had been successful at Gettysburg and proceeded from there. The period between the World Wars, Winston sat at his desk to write his tale of a victorious Confederate States of America. He began with the fictional postulation General Lee had indeed been successful at Gettysburg which led to Southern Independence, an unusual approach. Winston carried it through 1914 and hinted of events in the upcoming 1940s.
