the first one of those was shiloh. the book that came out last year deals with the rattle of shiloh. and it comes out in the 50th year of the event or, more or less, last year was shiloh. 1862. when i got into the research i was surprised and then the other character is a pivotal voice there. .. by the way that happens to be close friends with a jefferson davis, highly likely and proper that that demand would instead have gone to johnston and we never would have heard of robert is the. and there was a fifth side to that. at the time of johnson's death at shiloh on april 6th 1862 at about 3:00 in the afternoon his army is winning the battle. they are carrying the day, and what he is trying to do is get his army between grant's army in the tennessee river where grants basis. if you can cut the mafia is nowhere to go. he will either destroy the army or they will have to surrender. enormous victory for the confederacy if it happens that way. had it happened we never would have heard of ulysses grant. that would have been t

last year was shiloh, 1862. when i got into the research i was surprised. i knew he would be a character and then there was the other character, the pivotal confederate voice is a character i was not all that familiar with, a lot of you are not all that familiar with and his death changes the course of history. that is not an exaggeration. i'm talking about albert sidney johnston. if you don't know anything about albert sidney johnston that is fine, most people don't. johnson was the commander at shiloh, the confederate commander. he does not survive the battle. the reason that is important is in the confederate hierarchy albert sidney johnston out ranks robbery lee and what i've posit to you and i will debate this with any historian is in summer of 1862 when we is given command of the army of northern virginia by jefferson davis on the virginia peninsula is highly likely that if robert sidney johnston was alive, who by the way happens to be close friends with jefferson davis, it is highly likely and proper that that command would instead have gone to alber

have differently are that the northern forces are not as successful in the west, particularly in shilohthis leads up to a situation where by the time you get to gettysburg if the south wins that battle, it is likely to turn the populace against lincoln, and maybe they could have lincoln win the election and then end the war. >> so now can we, i guess, tell the story of how history was in your book? lincoln has lost the election in 1864. what's going on now? >> well, i follow what is probably a pretty standard practice for people who speculate. i have lee winning because he does a couple of things right, and luck goes with him rather than against him. and the union army has to retreat. well, you know the way elections go, these things sort of build, and the opponents jump on it, and the next thing you know poor old lincoln's defending himself because lee's ram rampaging through pennsylvania. and the next thing you know, he loses the election. the person coming in is going to be in a position to try and negotiate with the confederacy. and it's not that they necessarily want to negotiate w
