The Tannehill Ironworks in Selma, Alabama was producing up to 22 tons of pig iron a day for the Confederacy during the war.

Kansas and Arizona become states.
Stay tuned for 1855. Things start to get interesting.

Great to see that you are taking up another AAR. You are a good story teller and the context is very well done. While I'll root for your AAR, my heart is with the North [;)]. I am sure that I am not alone that I'm hoping your computer hangs in there [&o]

Thank you for your kind compliment. With all battles being played out by Quick Battle, there are no guarantees, even with the Southern advancements which are being employed. I believe I am a better story teller than game player, so the North will probably win[;)] But I will give it a good run... I noticed in the news today that the University of Mississippi Rebel mascot has been replaced by a Black Bear with pants. This is undoubtedly a sad day for true Southerners. It's a shame that everything Antebellum Southern is looked at as racist. [:(] I love the history and culture of the Antebellum South, but am not a racist.

Ironic, the Black Bear is the mascot of our University of Maine, though it doesn't help our football team win much.

Rest assured I make no judgments other than you like to play this game and you tell a good story. If someone invaded my home I'd like to think that I'd fight first, and sort out the politics/ideologies later . We are all Americans, after all .

Game on.
