The “War Is Hell” bit here just reminds me of all the figures that one would like to squeeze in but just don’t seem to be able to: General Sherman, Jefferson Davis, Mark Twain, Clement Vallandingham… Hell, somehow Robert E. Lee didn’t make his way in thus far… It just goes to show what large consequences can result from minor alterations of the timeline like transplanting Napoleon and sewing together two philosophers and kidnapping an English scientist and corrupting an abolitionist and conquering Mexico for the wrong team…
