Forstchen continues the story of a Confederate victory, examining the great what if of American history: Could Lee have won the Battle of Gettysburg? A Confederate victory, however, would not necessarily mean that the Southern cause has gained its final triumph and a lasting peace. It is from this departure point that the story continues in \u003ci\u003eGrant Comes East\u003c\/i\u003e, as General Robert E. Lee's marches on Washington, D.C., and launches an assault against one of the largest fortifications in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBeyond a military victory in the field, Lee must also overcome the defiant stand of President Abraham Lincoln, who vows that regardless of the defeat at Gettysburg, his solemn pledge to preserve the Union will be honored at all cost. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt the same time, Lincoln has appointed General Ulysses S. Grant as commander of all Union forces.
