The Hero of Arlington

Hold on. How is ANYONE being convicted for treason, given the exacting definition under the US Constitution?

Or . . . . front line shields? What?!

This is like some kind of apocalyptic insanity version.
 
I honestly do not even understand how George Custer of all people, in ANY TIMELINE, can somehow end up, in two years no less, somehow get to the position that he is - and at his age!

Yeah. OTL was his career going far further than anyone would have put money on in 1861, or even 1862.


And in this timeline he's just a brigadier general at the end of the war, meaning it makes even less sense.

nope.
Chapter 6



Forces under Major General Custer, George H. Thomas set off to capture the Gulf Coast.

and it almost sounds like George Thomas is subordinated to Custer.

a subordinate. that is the most insulting thing ever,
 
Update

The Civil War is over. I will be taking the next two weeks off to revise some stuff (such as the Charleston Trials, they are ridiculous) and do research on reconstruction. I will be by January 18 with the first chapter on reconstruction. Enjoy and comment. :D
 
For me it seemed a little rushed at the end. Also the use of slaves as human shields seems not to ring true. What stops the slaves from scattering when they see and hear that they are to be the forlorn hope of the CSA.

Also with Longstreet and Judah Benjamin becoming of the military government seems not to hold up in my opinion. That no one from the South is held to be responsible in any way makes the loss of so many lives lost in vain. I also question thevnumber of lives lost. Seems too many in a shorter time than OTL.
