  1. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I wonder to what extent more European interest in the civil war - tactics, strategies, and logistics - has on the outlook of militaries and the upcoming wars in Europe. Kearny was rather scathing about the Austrians and tried to convince his French friends that elan was no longer enough to win wars.

  2. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Oooo Communalists, creoles, African Americans, soldiers and Germans. Congress is starting to look differently. Looking forward to seeing the next 4 years.

  3. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    If you list all of those you’ll be at it awhile!

  4. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    You don’t need a fictional one - try General Henry Ronald MacIvor By TKI’s calculation it’s more like service under 18 flags...

  5. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I forgot - doesn’t it say somewhere that John McClernand gets propelled “to Washington”. He’s definitely one of the “bad men”...

  6. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Busted Flush must be Hooker? For Accidental President I’m going with Wallace.

  7. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    It could happen earlier than that. Nappy II could get involved in the Austro Prussian difficulties. If Italy can be kept out suddenly things start to look tricky for the Prussians.

  8. AHC: Anglo-German Alliance

    Or you could have a deterioration in Anglo-French relations from Fashoda onwards. There are shooting incidents with fatalities in West Africa for example. Also if the Anglo-Japanese treaties still exist this three way alliance would dominate at sea!

  9. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Two chapters ago.

  10. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Minor question/quibble: what’s your source for General William F Williams’ middle name being Frederick? I always understood it was William Fenwick Williams.

  11. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    If the Republicans are subsumed into the National Union Party and it’s dangerous to be a Democrat in the South (belated proscription or a failure to renationalise) is the US at risk of becoming a one party state? If so might the battles to choose National Union candidates really be where the...

  12. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I can name 6 including Kearny. The VP and Secretary of War have already been referenced and I can guess the Secretary of State. I generally quite excited for this new post-Lincoln era!

  13. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I only just now spotted the hyperlink! Thunder on the Wabash! Now that's a party anthem

  14. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    You've taken almost as long as GoT to get Kearny here! Lol

  15. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I'll say one thing for Pendleton - at least he seems to find his situation amusing. He's the only one smiling in his photo. Is it illegal to smile in 1860s photographs? The Republicans are universally miserable!
