Could Jackson have won at Gettysburg?

A poll on Jackson, pretty much.

As to the poll, if Jackson had been in Ewell's position at Gettysburg, the battle would have been over the first day, as well as the war. But the man was not perfect by any means, he did have his bad days; remember the Seven Days?

One little piece of History no one looks at is his performance at the Seven Days. He was always late. Not his best performance.

It's mind-numbing how many opportunities for totall victory were lost, by both sides, during the early days of the war. It is practically a history of military blunders, and yes, Jackson had his fair share.

Thats for sure. Especially on the Yankee side jk.

No joke there. When Grant had defeated Johnston at Pittsburg Landing, he pretty much could have taken the whole area, down to the coast of Louisiana and told Hallek so. Hallek wouldn't though, thus creating many years of pain and toil.

ahem, sorry, but Grant "the butcher/drunk" didn't defeat Johnson at Pittsburg Landing. He was barely saved from defeat, more like.

Johnson and Beauregard blew it by their battle plan.

Thank you for pointing that out.
