Civil War Iceberg Chart

There's this meme called an iceberg chart, which comes from the theory that the more you know about a subject--"the deeper you go"--the weirder it all gets, usually into urban legends or conspiracy theories.

The CW chart appears to be lost, so I reconstructed it from a YouTube video:

Some of that is deep…..Mariana Trench deep.

In an odd way you can argue that the English Civil War was a spiritual ancestor of sorts to the American Civil War.

The post-war Confederate holdouts sound like a very intriguing subject, much like the post-war Japanese holdouts in WWII.
I wonder how far down the rabbit hole that sort of thing goes for the Civil War, and what has been documented.

I think the list is mostly accurate, although I believe that the confederate secret service should be put down lower as there was more to it than a bunch of spies in northern cities. As for the mention of the penguin I can't explain it.

I would drop Anaconda Plan a level. Don't think the average Joe/ Jane has heard of it.

Is that part of the theory that Lincoln's biological father was John C. Calhoun or is that a different conspiracy theory?

Here's Link's "brother" from Nancy Hanks' other guy that's his half-brother but "secretly" his brother-brother, Welsey Enloe:

There are people (Clyde Wilson) that believe this, ignoring how much Thomas Lincoln looks like his son. If one hates someone, you'll believe anything.

No Pinkerton Detective Agency?

What did Albert Pike do to get into the third bottom row? As far as I know, he did nothing but serve as a general during the war and got many Native Americans to fight for the CSA.
