Churchill led England during World War 2!
Yes it would have because if Virginia had rejected secession, the prospect of Lee in command of Union forces rather than Confederate forces would have presented major problems for the Confederacy. The South would have lost a major economic and political asset, the state of West Virginia would never have been created, the war would almost certainly have been shorter. Interestingly, such circumstances might cast some doubts on how determined the North would have been to end slavery permanently.
Hope this helped!!
Marquis de Lafayette helped to train the American colonists and even served in battle with them. Lafayette first came to the American colonies in 1777. Upon arrival, was appointed a Major General in the colonial army. From there, he taught the American colonists military techniques, strategies, and other important information needed to defeat the British. He even fought for the American colonists in the Battle of Brandywine. His help was imperative to the colonists success against the British.
