Damn you Pete!! I always liked playing the "What IF" game about the war because I always had an answer that no one else did.....George Thomas.

He was without doubt the greatest defensive tactician of the time, and maybe of any time. Had he not been a t Mill Springs, Stone River, Chickamauga, Chattanooga, etc.....What would have been the outcome. AND, what if he had been with the Confederacy paired with the Jacksons and the Lees......

JEFF DAVIS: "Okay Abe, I'll trade you 4 Braggs and 3 Polks, and a couple of Johnstons for ONE Thomas!"
ABE: "Kiss my tall ass Jeffy."
