The South May Have Really Won the Civil War? What if I told you that the South may have really won the Civil War, but the result may have been changed by the ghost of George Washington riding on a white horse and carrying a flaming sword OR it may have been changed by time traveling US Federal Government employees in the 1970’s? Don't laugh. One statement may be correct. Perhaps both! You would likely think that I was crazy or deluded. Admittedly , it is a crazy sounding theory, however, it is based on a little known historical incident that actually occurred during the Battle of Gettysburg .But first, let me show you some interesting facts and evidence and please keep an open mind until you have reviewed the information to the end no matter how crazy this might sound. Battle of Gettysburg From the 1st to 3rd of July in 1863 Confederate forces of General Robert E. Lee (consisting of the Army of Northern Virginia which fielded 71,699 men, divided into three infantry corps and a cavalry division) met the Union Army of the Potomac (which fielded 93,921 men divided into seven infantry and one cavalry corps) led by Major General George G. Meade, at Gettysburg , Pennsylvania. Until that point in the War things had pretty much gone for the South. The Northern population and politicians were growing weary of the carnage and length of a War that they were initially told would be swift and decisive. Gen. Lee was a masterful General and his tactics had worked extremely well thus far during the War. He was a West Point graduate from Virginia and was regarded as the finest General in the Army of the United States. At the outset of the War the North had offered General Lee the command of all of the Northern Army. Gen. Lee felt great affinity to his State , Virginia, and declined and instead took command of the Southern Army. At Gettysburg Gen. Lee had decided to take the Southern Army into Northern territory because until that time almost the entire War had been fought in the South. Gen. Lee believed that a great victory at Gettysburg, on Northern soil, would make the politicians and population of the North demand an end to the War. He was likely correct. His plan for the Battle was excellent. Most of the Southern Army would march across an open field and attack the Union Army from the front, ending in Picket’s Charge on the third and final day of the Battle. A division of Confederate Troops would attack the Left Flank of the Union line from a high position and Confederate Calvary would attack the Union line from the rear. LITTLE ROUND TOP (Union's Left Flank) The Union Army, under General Meade, was engaged with the frontal attack by the main Southern forces. Meanwhile, additional Sothern Troops under the command of General John Bell Hood from Kentucky, who commanded a division under Confederate General James Longstreet, was ordered to attack Little Round Top hill which was defended by the Brigade of Col. Strong Vincent of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Gen Hood’s Confederate troops marched 18 miles on July 2nd and then attacked Union troops on Little Round Top and at Devil's Den by climbing the hills to the Left side of the Union Line and were going to try and cause a disruption in the Union forces engaging the Confederate Forces attacking from their front. On route to the battlefield, Union Col. Chamberlin’s soldiers, heading to help defend the Union's Left Flank, reached a fork in the road and were unsure as to which direction to take. It was night , cloudy and dark. They had marched 16 miles to get to the battlefield. The men were tired and unsure which fork in the road to take. If they took the wrong one they would have missed the battle or, at a minimum, been badly out of position. As they stood there contemplating which way to go it appeared that the clouds parted , what looked like moonbeams shined down on an imposing figure on horseback who appeared wearing a tri-cornered hat . At first they thought he was a Union general, but noticed that both the man and his horse seemed to emit an eerie glow. Furthermore, some recognized the man as strongly resembling George Washington, whom they knew from his famous portraits. The figure road a pale horse down one of the roads in the fork and signaled Chamberlin's men to follow him. They did and the road led to Little Round Top at Gettysburg . Hundreds of soldiers verified that they had seen this phantom riding a ghostly white horse while waiving a flaming red sword. The Ghost then led the division of Union soldiers to the intersection to a strategic position at Little Round Top, where they were able to repel the attack on the Union’s Left Flank by the flank Confederate Forces. Confederates later told of shooting bullets that went right through this ghostly figure with a flaming red sword, atop a glorious white horse that rode ahead and gave encouragement to Chamberlain’s men on their suicide bayonet mission to repel a Confederate attack. So well-known became this report of Washington’s ghost that Union Secretary of War Stanton later conducted a formal Congressional investigation of the matter. In his testimony, Colonel Joshua Chamberlain, who was in charge of the troops in question, said: “We know not what mystic power may be possessed by those who are now bivouacking with the dead. I only know the effect, but I dare not explain or deny the cause. Who shall say that Washington was not among the number of those who aided the country that he founded..." "If the Confederates had seized [Little Round Top] and dragged some of their artillery up there, as they easily could have done, they would have enfiladed Meade's entire line and made it too unhealthy for him to remain there." “The Battle of Gettysburg: Extracts of the minutes of the meeting of Sterling Price Camp)" (America's Historical Newspaper image).

Lee made his plans to invade the North in the summer of 1863, he sent the cavalry commanded by General J.E.B. Stuart to travel through the center of the state of Maryland. And when the Union Army of the Potomac began moving northward from their own positions in Virginia to counter Lee, they inadvertently separated Stuart from the rest of Lee’s forces. As Lee and the infantry entered Pennsylvania, Lee had no idea where his cavalry was located. Stuart and his men were off raiding various towns in Pennsylvania, causing considerable panic and disruption. But those adventures were not helping General Lee in his planning for the battle. One of the most dramatic components of the Battle of Gettysburg, the large clash of Union and Confederate cavalry units on the third and final day, has often been overshadowed by Pickett’s Charge and the defense of Little Round Top. Yet the fight between thousands of horsemen led by two charismatic leaders, Confederate J.E.B. Stuart and George Armstrong Custer of the Union, may have played a decisive role in the battle. General J.E.B. "Jeb" Stuart- was the ideal of southern horsemanship. Commanding the Confederate Cavalry of the Army of Northern Virginia, he directed a successful raid through Maryland and Pennsylvania that ended in controversy when his arrival at Gettysburg came long after the battle had begun, earning him an embarrassing censure from the army commander. Stuart's horsemen fought a pitched battle three miles east of Gettysburg on the afternoon of July 3rd and he was soundly defeated. Gettysburg was one of Stuart's few defeats during the war. It was always assumed by historians that Stuart’s cavalry movements that day were intended to either harass the Federal flank or strike or sever Union supply lines. However, its possible that Gen. Lee intended to have Stuart’s rebel cavalry strike the rear of the Union positions in a devastating surprise blow in conjunction with a Southern artillery bombardment on the Union line from a raised position on Little-Round-Top. A carefully timed cavalry attack, hitting the Union rear at the same time Pickett’s Charge poured thousands of infantrymen into the Union front line simultaneously with an artillery barrage from Little-Round-Top onto the Union line from the left, could have turned the tide of the battle and changed the outcome of the Civil War. Whatever Lee’s strategic goal was, history reports that it failed. Stuart’s attempt to reach the rear of the Union defensive positions was unsuccessful when he met ferocious resistance from a large contingent of Union cavalrymen led by General George Armstrong Custer, who had been gaining a reputation for being fearless under fire. What had been a standoff and then a skirmish quickly escalated into one of the largest cavalry battles of the entire war. Custer’s men charged, were beaten back, and charged again. The scene turned into a gigantic melee of men shooting at close quarters with pistols and slashing with sabers. In the end, Custer and the Union cavalry had held off Stuart’s advance. By nightfall Stuart’s men were still positioned on the ridge from which they had first spotted the Union cavalry. And after dark Stuart withdrew his men and returned to the west side of Gettysburg to report to Lee. It is apparent that Stuart’s cavalry could have provided, had they not been detected so early behind Union lines, a considerable diversion that might have confused the Union commanders. One theory of the battle holds that Stuart could have unleashed a major surprise attack in the middle of the rear of the Union line. The road network in the immediate area may have made such an attack possible. Had Stuart and his men managed to race up those roads, and meet up with the Confederate infantry brigades marching forward in Pickett’s Charge, the Union Army could have been cut in two and defeated. On that third and final day of the Battle some unknown person had alerted the Union Command of Stuart's Confederate Calvary approaching their line from the rear giving the Union Army time to respond with their own Calvary in opposition. Who alerted the Union Army of J.E.B. Stuart’s Calvary behind their lines and at so early in the day ? FEDERAL EMPLOYEES CHANGE THE OUTCOME OF THE CIVIL WAR IN THE 1970’s First of all let me state that I fully comprehend how crazy and improbable the above statement sounds. However, please bear with me a little longer and examine the evidence for yourself. It gets crazier! If one wanted to change history where the South won the Civil War and the US capital was moved to Richmond, Virginia, where would one start. Obviously ,at the point(s) in time where a slight difference in a Battle would result in a drastic change in the outcome of the War. That point(s) is somewhere at Gettysburg, but where? Clearly, one would be at the point when the Union Brigade of Col. Strong Vincent, part of the 20th Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, commanded by Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain reached a spot in the road at an intersection where they were unsure as to which direction to take to best defend the Union Line. If they had taken the wrong road they would have missed the Battle or at the least arrived very late or out of position. That would have resulted in the Confederates seizing Little-Round-Top and dragging some of their artillery up there they would have been able to destabilize Meade's entire line and made it too unhealthy for him to remain there and fight the oncoming Rebel attack. That would have resulted in a Southern victory in the Battle of Gettysburg and likely ended the Civil War at that point. So, what if something is done to make the Union forces of Col. Vincent take the correct road at that intersection at that point in the road which allowed them to timely secure Little Round Top ? Obviously, the result of taking the correct road at the intersection would have been what history now tells us it was and the North would prevail at the Battle of Gettysburg and won the Civil War. Also, what if someone had not warned the Union officers so early in the morning on the last day of the Battle that the Confederate Calvary was approaching the Union line from the rear ? Obviously, J.E.B. Stuart's Calvary could have attacked the Union line form the rear during Pickett's Charge and it would likely also have made had a tremendous effect on the outcome of the Battle. Although , that alone might not have affected the final outcome of the Battle. Doesn’t it seem a little strange to you that the historical fact is that at that a critical point in the road to Little-Round-Top a glowing ghostly figure of George Washington (who had been dead since 1799) on a glowing white horse with a flaming red sword appeared to tell Col. Vincent’s Northern forces which turn to take? Of course it does! Furthermore, that ghostly figure appeared periodically at other times during the Battle at Little Round Top to direct the Union forces and encourage them to fight at strategic points in the skirmish. How strange is that? Humor me for a short time more please. What if the ghostly figure was not a ghost at all but was a hologram? A hologram placed in that position at the intersection sometime later in time to change the outcome of the Civil War from a Southern to a Northern victory. Then the outcome of the Battle of Gettysburg and the final outcome of the Civil War would have changed allowing the North to prevail. That is exactly what a small group of time travelers working for the Federal Government in the 1970's said they did and they "might" have just pulled it off. Is that any stranger than the ghost of Gen. Washington directing Northern troupes to a Union victory 64 years after his death? Outrageous you say? Impossible you say?

Finally, what if someone had alerted the Union forces of the presence of Col. J.E.B. Stuart’s Confederate Calvary behind Union limes in a timely fashion so the Union Calvary could engage the Southern Calvary and prevent them from disrupting the main Union line? What then?
So, in the end, as incredible and unlikely as it may sound, the North may have won the American Civil War either as a direct result of the ghost of General George Washington (who died in 1799) leading Union troupes to victory on Little Round Top in 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg while he was riding a glowing white horse and carrying a flaming red sword OR some US Federal employees or contractors in New Jersey in the 1970 's may have done what they said they did and changed history through the use of a time machine and a hologram of Washington on a white horse carrying a flaming red sword, just because they could. Your choice , both choices are equally strange.
Interesting possibilities indeed!
