LTC Stephen F. I went all of the above. Impeachment is not something that happens very often, the loss of so many in one incident, a law preventing the return of fugitive slaves, and a law paving the way for the conscription of slaves into the CSA army are all significant. The saddest event would be the loss of life, more specifically the loss of children. The most interesting (to me) is the law allowing for "Negro Soldiers" in the CSA military, specifically, those conscripted soldiers would have no vested interest in the CSA winning the war, so how would they convince them to fight?
