What would you do if...???
What would you do if? Some how either by in a dream, or some solsticetreal event you were transported back in time to the civil war. Not only only are you transported back in time but as a soldier in either the AoP or the AoNV.
Not only are you a soldier but the army you are with is on the eve of battle with the other army.
Lets say you figure out what battle is about to occur like Cold Harbor. You learn you are in the NH. 12TH voluntary infantry and form your civil war knowledge knows that 21% of the regiment is kill and much more are wounded.
Or lets say you figure out what battle is about to occur like Gettysburg. You learn you are in Armstead's Brigade, 9th VA. infantry regiment and form your knowledge you know they reached Cemetery Hill in Pickette's Charge to epically be turned back in death.
Or lets say you figure out what battle is about to occur like Fredricksburg. You learn you are in Caldwell 1st Brigade, 7th NY. infantry regiment and form your knowledge know they assault Maryes's Heights and have the majority of the losses within Hancock's Division.
My question is what would you do?
You know you be facing death within the next 72 hours if you stay with your regiment. The odds of living are not good for you. Big Dilemma!!
Do you become a deserter and try to run off?
Do you try to reason with you superiors that your a time traveler and you know whats going to happen? Then you change history forever??(Bad)
Do you just follow history to your death?
You have a Big DILEMMA. How do you solve your predicament?
If your solution keeps you alive but changes history is that okay?....
What would you do if death was lurking?
Remember you not even suppose to be there....
A musing... a Classic Hot/Cold Empathy Gap question...
