For those who don't know what a frozen conflict is, it's basically a conflict ends, but there is no peace treaty or agreement that permanently resolves the conflict. Modern examples of frozen conflicts can be found in Korea, the Ukraine and South Ossetia.
The American Civil War started with the attack on Fort Sumter. That was on April 12 1861. The first major battle occurred on July 21st 1861, three months later. In between, there were minor skirmishes between Union and Confederate forces.
What if before Bull Run, the Union and Confederacy signed a armistice to avoid the war from spreading, but neglect to sign a peace treaty. It is worth reminding that a armistice only halts fighting until a peace treaty is signed, which in our timeline, is why you see the media always state that North and South Korea are technically still at war.
So in essence, what if the American Civil War 'froze'?
