Why a lethal dominant genetic disease persists in the gene pool?
That depends on what you mean by lethal. If you mean e.g. the gene for Huntington's disease than this is because the carrier is likely to pass on their genes before death as it only manifests later on in life. Unless the gene causes the carrier to die before they reproduce - it will stay in the gene pool. Would you kill someone because they had a genetic disorder or not let them reproduce?

What caused West Point graduate Josiah Gorgas to forsake his home state of Pennsylvania to join the Confederacy?
Joshia Gorgas was born in Pennsylvania and graduated 6th in his class at West Point. Before the US Civil War he was stationed in Alabama where he married into a Southern family. With the outbreak of the war, he was offered a Confederate commission as a major of artillery. This he rejected and hoped for a higher rank in his own US army. This "better offer" did not come to Gorgas, and he accepted a new commission in the South as Chief of Ordinance. It was an important and difficult job. By all accounts he handled his task admirably. After the war, and late in his career, he was named as the President of the University of Alabama.
