He is replaced by Edwin Sumner, who subsequently defeats Robert E Lee, and forces an earlier end to the war. [[ButterflyOfDoom the Butterfly Effect]] is handled very creatively, which includes a smoother reconstruction, Lincoln dying a natural death, Napoleon III being succeeded by his son, and countless other events.
