By the way for those of you confused as to how a former Confederate general could win an antebellum presidential election it is bcause oviously there was a huge split in the Republican party but also because Lee was an incredibly pro-American individual following the end of the war, despite his actions during the war, also for the short time he was in office he was considered a very strong Governor.
Will this split survive and fragment into separate parties, or will the Republicans re-unite in time for the next election?
Keep up the good work coming up with ideas btw.
