America, 1861: The Mississippi Tide Is Rising

Did the South really lose? The vice president who became the official after Lincoln's death was a Southerner, and in the end he only lost the war.

The South's chances of winning the Civil War were too low. The cost of failure for the South was too low. The North could lose many times, but the South could only lose once or twice.

James is James, Lu Qingcang is Lu Qingcang, what the hell are you going to call him? You've already traveled through time, do you still need to care?

I think the reason why few people read it is that the description in the first volume is too scattered. I was already anticipating James and Amelia's journey of survival. Suddenly, the Thompson family appeared halfway, especially the Benjamin scene that took up too much (I know I need to create enemies, but one or two chapters is enough, right? How many chapters are there). I think it's a bit torn, maybe that's why others don't want to read on.

From 1940 to 1945, Stimson was re-elected as Secretary of the Army in the administrations of Presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman. (Stimson was also the chief director of the Harmanton Project) During his more than 30 years in politics, he served seven U. S.

During his tenure, he was committed to the de facto Marshall Plan, which was developed to rebuild the European economy after World War II. During the Korean War, he held various positions, including special adviser to the National Security Council, U. S. Representative to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and administrator of the Mutual Security Agency. In the early 1950s, Harriman aspired to become president or secretary of state. In the 1952 presidential election, when voters abandoned the Democratic candidate and elected Eisenhower, he was successfully elected as the governor of New York State in 1954 (1955-1958). Politics was considered a weak link for the businessman-diplomat, who failed in his bid for re-election. In the early 1960s, during the terms of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, Harriman's diplomatic talents were once again put to use. He held multiple positions in the State Department and performed various major diplomatic missions as a presidential envoy. He led U. S. Delegations to resolve crises in Congo, Laos, and Vietnam.

Dorothy Walker was born in the Walker family, a Wall Street financial giant, so Prescott made quite a fortune when he started doing business.

Congratulations on putting it on the shelves. I hope that there will be less plots about a certain Dongda University in the future. After all, copying is not possible, nor is colonization. It is better to pretend that freedom does not exist

I remember someone said that the Civil War was a rehearsal for World War I? The main thing is that during the Civil War, it was shown that the defenders had huge advantages with the support of various fortifications, and they paid great attention to the continuity of logistical supplies. Does this author perform well? As for why the Franco-Prussian War was not mentioned, I guess it is because France surrendered too quickly. 😜

Please update more, I'm really afraid that the book will die. It's good not to involve a certain Dongda University in the plot !
