It is interesting as a student of history the few events that truly change the course of history. The war between the states in the west might have been much different if f A.S. Johnston was not killed at Shiloh. If he would of stayed in command of The Army of Mississippi/Tennessee throughout the War, the fight in the West might have been different.
Johnston, was considered a very strong and aggressive tactical General, and well respected by his men. He also had more combat experience then any other Southern officer at the start of the war, with his experience in Texas, Utah, and California.

What if scenarios also bring to mind serious questions...what would our country be like now if the South would have won the war? Civil rights?
I don't know.

It was just not meant to be. If the Confederates pressed their advantage the first day at Gettysburg and siezed the high-ground, the battle ends differently, if battle orders aren't found late wrapped with cigars, if the Union Navy is captured at Alexandria as it should have been, New Orleans is once again Confederate and the Mississippi River is retaken with the 40 plus Union gunboats we now have. If if and buts were candy and nuts...you get the idea.
