The Path of Glory: A History of the Confederate States of America (1861-2030)

1. North America in mid-August, 1861.

 

    Following the election of Republican Abraham Lincoln in 1860, eleven Confederate States declare themselves independent from the Union, claiming New Mexico, Southern California, and Oklahoma. General Robert E. Lee and General Thomas Jackson lead the Confederacy to early victories in the Invasion of Maryland, and John C. Pemberton and French Foreign Legionnaires annihilate General Ulysses S. Grant's force's, which results in General William T. Sherman's March to the Sea and subsequent capture of New York in the Winter of 1864. 

2. The Union Annihilation at Antietam by Stonewall Jackson's Confederates

 

   In 1865, following Robert E. Lee's election, which arguably saved the Union from total annihilation by Confederate Warhawks, the Treaty of London was signed, granting the CS New Mexico, Arizona, Oklahom, and Southern California. Nevada, Utah, and Colorado were added to appease the Confederacy. 

3. The Results of Catastrophic Union Failures in the Civil War. Map Circa 1880.

 

  In 1868, Robert E. Lee could not hold back the warhawks. On July 8, 1868, he died. Thomas Jackson, his vice president, took his office. In 1869, CSS Merrimac exploded in Port-Au-Prince. The results were devastating, killing most of the men on board. Confederate Congress declared war on the fifteenth of August, and Marine landings lead by General Pickett started in mid-November. In early March, Pickett was killed at the Battle of Chaîne de la Selle. Despite this setback, General John Bell Hood led the CRMC to it's first military victory at the Battle of Port-Au-Prince in mid-September.
