WW2 made them much more common, sure. and Penicillin was discovered in 1928. WW2 brought the mass production of it, by the americans, but ww2 brought mass production of a lot of things, by the americans....Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872338936249305301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606956.post-54031238060301702122021-08-12T15:10:28.084-04:002021-08-12T15:10:28.084-04:00I think in the end, it does not matter.

Operation Anaconda was working, and most people do not know that the northern states had 80% of the WORLD's rail trackage. it was not close. and that skips money, which the north had, much much more than the south. Lee made his reputation on green troops at the beginning of the war. Later, he is not very impressive at all. And Grant IS impressive. it was not luck that got him from Colonel to Supreme Commander of all US troops.

Better example might have been if Lee was able to take the high ground (Cemetery Hill?) at Gettysburg after the first day. chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00098290764554181807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6606956.post-42654043971869849392021-08-12T14:52:20.061-04:002021-08-12T14:52:20.061-04:00I cannot comment on FDR vs that other guy, but I c...I cannot comment on FDR vs that other guy, but I can comment on the Lusitania. No change, US still enters the war. and Lee was not one logistic win away from beating Grant. Lee was long over, no match for USG at any point, let alone at that point in the war.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872338936249305301noreply@blogger.com
