Uh...

No.

Not fucking even.

Racist southern rednecks (it is what is inferred by the "what if" )- and cowboys are NOT synonomous.....


In fact - black men were cowboys - far in excess of per capita population.

Effectively, one did.

Eh?

Andrew Johnson, a Southerner, was elected vice-president and served out the great majority of Lincoln’s term. Made a right mess of it, and all.

You didn't say 'elected president', you said 'won the election'. Johnson won the election for vice-president.

But that's a doddle. The practical point is that a racist, pro-slavery Southerner became president in 1865. Does it really matter whether he was elected to that office or simply ascended to it?

"Johnson won the election for vice-president." I see you agree. But let's not gang up on you, shall we?

Which means a Southerner ‘won the election in 1864’. We don’t have to wonder what would have happened. We KNOW what happened.
