What if Robert E Lee had fought for the Union? He could become President | History Undone

from History Undone

On this episode of History Undone Darryl Morris is joined by Rear Admiral Dr Chris Parry and Dr Timothy Orr to discuss Robert E Lee's decision to fight for the Confederacy during the American Civil War. Considered the south's finest general, Lee was actually offered command of the Union's forces in Virginia by President Abraham Lincoln, but he would not fight against his home state that had seceded just a day earlier. So what if he had made that monumental decision and become Lee, the Union general instead? This is History Undone. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
