From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_Medal_of_Honor_recipients:A question for the panel if it is okay. I'm working on my WTCPC timeline and one of its features is earlier civil right in the US. Now I have one source which says William Carney was the first African-American to be award the Medal of Honor, awarded in 1900 for actions in the ACW in 1863. I have another source which says he wasn't, there were awards before him. Very unhelpfully this source doesn't list said earlier awards. Can anyone tell me which is correct?
Thank you, I've actually found out what's going on. Carney's MOH is the earliest in that it was earliest action, but wasn't awarded until 1900. But yes there were several MOH awarded for actions after Carney's 1863 saving of his regiment's colours awarded before Carney got his. Apparently quite common for African Americans to get their awards many years late.From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_African-American_Medal_of_Honor_recipients:
William Harvey Carney was the first African American to perform an action for which a Medal of Honor was awarded, but Robert Blake was the first to actually receive the Medal (Blake's was issued in 1864, Carney did not receive his until 1900). It was common for Civil War Medals of Honor to be awarded decades after the conflict endedPerhaps that's the source of the confusion? But there will be others on here with much better sources, I'm sure.
Perhaps only so much in that the same tensions would be released as two decades later, so they might come to a conclusion two decades earlier?Could a war stemming from the Fashoda incident have triggered an earlier decolonization of Africa?

Basically, yes. I was floating a Franco-Prussian War POD that still sees Germany formed, but with Napoleon III keeping his throne as well as what became Alsace-Lorraine in OTL, but I'm open to some third republic POD of one sort or another, just delivering at the urn of the century a war as impactful as the OYL First World War.Perhaps only so much in that the same tensions would be released as two decades later, so they might come to a conclusion two decades earlier?
You'd also still have the Boer republics independent, unless of course someone occupies them in the war.
What are their legacies?I got a question about if the confederate won the civil war, if the confederate did win would Washington and Jefferson legacys change?
I don't know maybe I thought it would some kind of Bioshock Infinite situation where their see as gods in the south and kind of tragedy figures in the north, it would be hard to view them as positives when the south has used them a symbolic gesture for they caused. I'm not a American who knows much about the legacies of men just had the idea for a while now.What are their legacies?
I always viewed Washington's as seeing the birth and early childhood of the USA.
Jefferson's as seeing its greatest territorial expansion.
Maybe Jefferson would have a more critical legacy, since he was revered among the Southern elite and disliked in his day by some in the north, but he still had many accomplishments and it would be hard to lay the blame at his feet. Washington definitely not.I don't know maybe I thought it would some kind of Bioshock Infinite situation where their see as gods in the south and kind of tragedy figures in the north, it would be hard to view them as positives when the south has used them a symbolic gesture for they caused.

Because he's always been a highly revered figure in American lore and one point frequently heard as to why is his distrust of political parties and factionalism. The Civil War is the ultimate example of that.Why not?
Only if Manuel is dead as I can NOT see Charles accepting to be blackmailed and marry Isabella (in which he was absolutely NOT interested)@isabella Would it have been possible for Eleanor to marry Joao III instead of Manuel I in 1518?
