Basically, I want to know how to get the ACW to start in the early 1850s, possibly due to the failure (or non-existence) of the Compromise of 1850.
So, three questions for such a scenario:
1) What could lead to the *ACW occurring at this point? Would it work if I butterflied away Zachary Taylor's death?
2) What might the course of the war look like?
3) What might the results be?
