1863: The War Between the States has been going on for two years now with no quick end in sight. It is time for a big push by CS forces with two invasions of US territory; one thru Pennsylvania the other thru Kentucky to Ohio. Morale is high in the Confederate States as they are fighting for their independence while in the United States war weariness is setting in. The CS forces are looking all over for allies, including the Indian Nations, as they have fewer resources in men and war material than their US counterparts. A win by either side might swing the balance of victory. This is the story of a few from both sides and how they viewed the conflict.
