yeah, good point. You wouldn't likely have people like Carter, Gore, Clinton, or either Bush since they'd be in the "confereate states". Jfern continues in making crummy posts...
Acctually, the Bush's probably would have stayed in Conn. However, it is likely that there would be no Bushs today, as we know them, because, without a certain circle of precise events, George and Barbra never would have met, thus, there would be no "Dubya" or Jeb as we know them, in the very least. I can annticipate jfern dancing at the thought.
Also, assuming the time line would have stayed together as much as possible and not totally fragmented into something we wouldn't recongnize, there would be no Bill "Clinton" because Clinton's biological father (Blythe) would never have died in a freak car crash on the way home from Illinois.
And, Grant would have probably died a poverty stricken, drunken, nobody, had the Union lost the war.
And also, a Republican Party that lost the war probably wouldn't be nearly as prominant as the acctual party. At best, they would be the competitive centrist party in a three party system.
argubally, had the south won, the northern democrats would have taken the presidency in 64
