Real Americans died. They had real families waiting for them at home.

Committing our soldiers to a conflict cost lives. It better be a damn good reason to intentionally place them in harm's way.

1) How many more years do you think the institution of slavery would have survived without an armed conflict?

2) Why couldn't the three branches of power within the U.S. Government resolve the issue of slavery peacefully?

3) What other significant reasons could have been contributing factors to a war between the Northern and Southern citizens of the United States?

Economic hardship -
The people of Massachusetts bought human beings along the coast of Africa, shipped them across the Atlantic Ocean, and then sold them to the people of South Carolina.
Then the people of Massachusetts told the people of South Carolina to liberate the means to plant and harvest their crops.

If the people of Michigan sold the people of Minnesota automobiles and then the people of Michigan demanded the people of Minnesota surrender their automobiles which were needed to commute to their place of work, do you think the insistence of another state seems reasonable?


Security issues –
Releasing 30 – 50% of the population who were held against their will, placing them in an unemployed status, and having them live in your neighborhood…
How safe is the former prison warden and his family?

Slavery by State from 1790 to 1860 as a percentage of the population:

Under U.S. Law, they were property.

The decision to change the status of some people residing in the United States from being property should have been made in the United States Congress with representation from all the states.

Has anyone else pledged? I bought the 2LT tier for like $44. Gives you the full game, an exclusive rifle, some uniforms, and Steam beta access.

I haven't bought in yet but I'm very interested. I guess I'm waiting to see how it develops. Anybody know an approximate release date?

The last couple videos have been disappointing in respect to the development. The in-game characters look like early 2000s quality. It is too early to make a decision for me. Not sure how their development milestones are progressing.

After investigating:

May 24, 2016 - 1st Day of Alpha

I would like to post a newer video, but the ones created by the developers do not encourage interest.

Here is a video made by an Alpha participant:


To assist in not wasting too much time.

9:32 - 10:36 .... Small Skirmish
18:46 - 21:28 ... Bullets whizzing by

From what ive been hearing McGuirk. Late this year/early next year(early access that is).

Im thinking about getting the $70 dollar version. But im not 100% convinced i should do it..............tempted though............ very tempted.

Boy, that game play video looked pretty grim. This might end up being something for historical reenactors not gamers.

McGuirk, I do agree with your point about this development effort being geared toward 'historical reenactors.'

It would be great if the product was able to appeal to the gaming community.

I have my doubts...
