"Had Lee won at Gettysburg it is interesting to speculate his next move.

The Pennsylvania capital at Harrisburg?"

Many historians agree that Lee's initial focus in invading PA, was on capturing Harrisburg and thereby increasing the pressure on the Union to end the war and let the CSA stand?

He had various regiments/brigades probing about close to Harrisburg, before he "bumped into" Union forces near Gettysburg and summoned them all back to his side.They had already "taken" a few sizable towns like Carlisle, Mechanicsburg, etc, to the west of Harrisburg, prior to the Gettysburg tussle..


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
