 This event shocks Confederate public opinion and turns Forrest and his supporters against the Rivington Men as well. The Confederates attack Rivington but are held back by the Rivington Men's machine guns and other modern weapons. Caudell calls upon a former Union soldier he met during the war, who in OTL destroyed a Confederate position in 1865 by undermining it with explosives, and he does the same unto the Rivington Men, blasting a hole in their defences. Rivington falls, Rhoodie is killed, the time machine is destroyed, and the remaining Rivington Men and their technology are captured by the Confederacy. The book ends with President Lee wondering if he will survive beyond his OTL death date so that he might see the first free black children born. This event shocks Confederate public opinion and turns Forrest and his supporters against the Rivington Men as well.
