What if Gen. Lee had another heart attack on the morning of July 1, 1863 and was unable to due his duties as commander of the AoNV. Thrusting Gen. Longstreet into the command of the AoNV as the first shots of the Battle of Gettysburg were being fired.

What would he have done? When he reached the battlefield and saw the union forces were being routed.

Would he have ordered Ewell to take the hill in direct order?

Would he have moved the army as he had suggested to Lee in that fateful moment in history?

Would there have been a Little Round Top or a Pickett's charge?

Would he have order the AoNV back to VA.?
