I'm guessing the arrows are a equivalent to a bundle of sticks AKA a fasci or am I stretching?
Quick question, why is this called a Sheridan tank? Sheridan was a Northern General in the OTL.
Some of the previous pictures are too strong in parallelism.
Researching some of the historical flags/symbols of the Confederacy, there are some that I found that would have been incorporated into the military or any other Confederate organization had it continued to exist.
Van Dorn Battle Flag
Bonnie Blue Flag
Confederate Navy Jack
Choctaw Battle Flag
Cherokee Regiment Flag

Here's a written scene from one of my favorite moments in the books:
The Unnamed Sergeant
"Pictured (from Left to Right): Lieutenant Issac "Ike" Horwitz and Colonel Irving Morrell"
SETTING: KAMLOOPS, OCCUPIED COLUMBIA TERRITORY, LATE 1920's
--The Center Cannot Hold, pg. 170; Del Rey Ballatine Books
"Pictured from left to right: Lt. Colonel Heinz Guderian and Sergeant Adolf Hitler"
Confirmation from Turtledove:
Note: The actual pictures are younger versions of Major Sproesser, Erwin Rommel, Heinz Guderian, and Adolf Hitler, respectively. Guderian's photo is from 1908, the only one I could find without Nazi Germany symbols.

Yankees and Confederates in Mexico and the Caribbean: circa 1920-1938
^^^ This rare photo from 1926 depicts Confederate "mercenaries" posing for a picture in the Mexican jungles outside of Veracruz during the Mexican Civil War. Fighting for the Royalist Hapsburg faction against the US-backed Populist rebels, many of these Confederate men were veterans from the Great War. Many groups of these same veterans were also registered Freedom Party members. They pose here with captured US weapons supplied to the rebels. The weapons shown here are the US Springfield 1903 and US M1918 BAR.
^^^ This photo from 1923 shows a USMC drill sergeant inspecting the rifles of Haitian soldiers, which appear to be US Springfield rifles. As one of the few US allies in a Caribbean dominated by the British, French, and (for a time prior to the Great War) Confederate navies, military cooperation between Haiti and the US was increased after 1917 when the government was restored to power in the aftermath of the Great War. Economic assistance was also increased during this time to build up Haiti into a trading partner that heavily favored US companies. US marines played a key role during this time in Haiti, helping to train the army and national guard, as well as fighting anti-government insurgents opposed to US interference in Haitian affairs. Jake Featherston would later remark in a 1934 wireless broadcast of the US's meddling in the Caribbean as their way of "caging in the Confederacy".
^^^ This rare photo taken in 1927 shows Confederate "mercenaries" with a captured Populist-Revolutionary battle flag. Fighting during the Mexican Civil War was particularly brutal on both sides, with Royalists carrying out mass executions of suspected revolutionaries. Many of the Confederate men who returned from this conflict, of whom many supported Jake Featherston's Freedom Party, took with them valuable lessons and experiences that would later be used in the Second Great War against the United States.

Confederates in the Caribbean: Second Great War -- 1941-1944
^^^ Andros Island, The Bahamas, outside of Red Bays, September 1943 --- Freedom Party Guardsmen dressed in their tropical camouflage uniforms disembark on a patrol through the jungle to root out Bahamian resistance fighters. By late summer of 1943, with US forces driving south through Tennessee after the Battle of Chattanooga and threatening to strike into Georgia, the remaining Confederate forces left garrisoned in the Caribbean found themselves stretched incredibly thin. In the Bahamas the occupying Confederate forces found themselves understrength and underarmed as they struggled to suppress a determined resistance movement. The forces there also found themselves at the end of an incredibly strained and increasingly neglected supply chain, with Confederate soldiers re-issued with bolt-action Tredegar Rifles as shipments of TARs were rerouted to more important fronts on the mainland.
^^^ Exuma Island, The Bahamas, outside the port of George Town, September 1943 --- A squad of Confederate soldiers take cover in a small hamlet as they come under fire from Bahamian resistance fighters. By this time Confederate forces occupying the Bahamas found themselves armed with surplus Tredegar Bolt-Action Rifles instead of the highly coveted TAR. Fighting against the resistance in the Bahamas was a bitter affair and both sides were reported by US Intelligence to execute prisoners.

Francisco Jose's Men: The Imperial Mexican Army --- 1940-1944
^^^ Life Magazine's Jimmy Ericsson photographed this Mexican Army officer during a training exercise south of the border in Baja California in 1940. Despite sporting obsolete equipment that paled in comparison to the USA and CSA the average Mexican soldier proved a sturdy, dogged fighter during the Second Great War. It was the officers and NCOs of the Mexican Army that could make or break a unit on the tactical level, ranging wildly from competent and experienced to ineffectual and draconian. In this photo the Mexican officer sports an old French-supplied Adrian helmet.
^^^ Sandusky, Ohio, Fall 1942 --- Mexican troops prepare to go on the offensive alongside their Confederate allies in Operation Coalscuttle. As Confederate forces pushed west into the state toward Pittsburgh Mexican forces held down the flanks, making small advances of their own into Pennsylvania. Due to a lack of proper motorized transportation many Mexican units were hard pressed to keep up with Confederate forces and found themselves outgunned by determined Yankee defenders cut off in small pockets behind their lines.
^^^ Ohio, 1942 --- A small unit of Mexican troops from the Veracruz Division pose for a picture before striking camp and advancing into Pennsylvania. This particular unit seems fairly well armed with a squad automatic weapon, a luxury that many Mexican troops did not receive. Although the Imperial Mexican government could supply each of it soldiers with a rifle, there was a severe lack of sub-machinguns, mortars, artillery pieces, anti-tank guns, and light machine-guns. This greatly reduced the firepower of Mexican units in the field, with individual soldiers making do with what was on hand to deal with their better armed US opponent, even resorting to capturing guns if possible.
^^^ Museum of the Second Great War in Cleveland, Ohio, Present Day --- An assortment of Second Great War era helmets on display in an exhibit, with three Mexican Army helmets sharing space with US and CS helmets.
^^^ Photograph and display of Mexican Expeditionary Air Force officers and the cap they wore. Although they were a fairly uncommon and small sight in the skies above Ohio and Pennsylvania, the MEAF nonetheless completed a surprising number of combat missions during Operation Coalscuttle and subsequent operations since. Mexican fighter pilots helped escort Confederate transport planes supplying the trapped army in Pittsburgh and squared off with US fighters trying to intercept. Although a handful of pilots survived to become aces, securing a grudging respect from their US counterparts, the operations in Pennsylvania severely reduced the MEAFs numbers and replacements for pilots were erratic, if not impossible to come by.

Hey, I know this probably isn't the right place for this, but anyone can help me out here - I want to create a new thread relating to Harry Turtledove's Southern Victory/TL-191 series, but I don't know how to do that. Like, I don't know how to... make a new thread? I just got this account, but am really eager to share some ideas with you all!
