I was reading a Civil War magazine and they were talking about "what if's". You always read the what if Getty'sburg and Jackson what if , but What if Grant was taken out of the picture during the photo shoot September 1, in Washington at Brady's studio?

This is the incident where the helper broke the sky light glass directly over Grants head.

Now at this time Sherman was enroute to Atlanta so that would not change, but who would replace Grant, would the program to attack the ANV still be the objective, would they turn Sherman loose to go to the Sea without provisions?

Yall want to try it?
