** John A. Quitman becomes president of the Confederate States of America instead of Jefferson Davis.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: As the war continues to get worse for the Confederacy, President Quitman begins to behave increasingly erratically, making questionable decisions like sacking Joseph Johnston for being insufficiently aggressive and trying to replace James Longstreet with Winfield Scott (who is both retired and a supporter of the Union). In-universe historians attribute his actions to Rosenfeld's disease (TTL's name for Alzheimer's disease).
