[edit] Release date

The text says it was released in 1997, but the infobox says 1992. I'm sure there is a reason for this? -- Jao 11:03, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, Shsilver. -- Jao 15:18, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Historic oddities

In both Kentucky and Missouri, the government split and the pro-Confederate half was admitted to the Confederacy in 1861. It seems very odd that they should have given up on Missouri. They might even have tried to re-conquer Kansas, which they felt was part of their share of the West.

There is also the New Mexico territory, which Confederate forces had tried to capture in 1861. The southern half of California also felt Confederate and logically ought to have joined if secession had succeeded.

It was also known to Confederates as their 'War of Independence' - surely that would have been the name used.

Most non-slave states did not allow blacks the vote in the pre-Civil War period, or otherwise discriminated against them. [1] I've not read the book recently but I don't recall this being mentioned.

It's an entertaining book, but not good history.

[edit] Philadelphia

In the history of the book, it is mentioned that the COnfederates take Philadelphia, thereby winning the war. Later, it is mentioned that the US capital is moved from Washington to Philadelphia because Washington now borders the Confederacy. If the first part is true, then Philadelphia is *in* the Confederacy, can this be clearly explained in the article how the capital can move to Philadelphia and if it is again US territory? --192.127.94.7 16:07, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

The Seceshes take Philadelphia during the war, but do not retain control of it after the war is over. --Orange Mike 02:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
