That was fascinating! The old adage 'divide and conquer' immediately comes to mind when you see the splitting of the Confederate states with Union troop movements. And there seems to be so little 'invasion' overall, more strategic manouevres which provide the final victory. With a focus on the main battles, it's probably far from comprehensive in that sense. It does seem to take a long time for those manouevres to actually achieve anything though. The border states were lost rapidly at the start of the war, as were the Confederate states after Lee's surrender at Appomattox, so it was interesting to see that sequence of events in this timeline. Thanks for sharing.
