Yes, he and the 100+ strong 14th Brooklyn.

Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia
Appomattox Courthouse, April 9 , 1865
General Order No. 9

After four years of arduous service marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources.

I need not tell the brave survivors of so many hard fought battles, who have remained steadfast to the last, that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that must have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen.

By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You will take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from a consciousness of duty faithfully performed; and I earnestly pray that a Merciful God will extend to you His blessings and protection.

With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your Country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration for myself, I bid you all an affectionate farewell.

Robert E. Lee
General

“Governor, if I had foreseen the use those people designed to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox Courthouse; no sir, not by me. Had I foreseen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand.”

General Robert E. Lee, August 1870 to Governor Stockdale of Texas

Man i will be very sincere now regardeless of how the community will answer what i will say ( I'm specting butthurts and angry plebs ). This mod is making what i consider not acceptable in my ideas, in the begining I saw that it was very historical accurate ( real life regiment uniforms, autentic weaponry, and other details ), but then i saw this ... let's say "fan fiction" based on the 1860s Civil War context, beside this was possible and it's foreign forces accurate to the period , it's not historical accurate, i know that removing the foreign units will make the community angry towards the developing team, but shit man. I'm certain that's parot's idea, like he did on Blood and Iron mod with the Microfactions and ModernUnits factions he did, didn't liked at all. Anyway I want to play a historically accurate game ( i also know that y'all trying to make some balance, for example making the most accurate muskets less effective in melee, but what I really freaking want is a accurate game ). So that's all for now I guess, I'm very certain that this reply of mine will be replied negatively, but I can't keep these ideas only for me, I felt that it was like my personal burden in my mind to do what i'm doing. That's it, and please butthurters and enemies, try to not be like butthurting this message.

 We have time. I don't want to play a mod with some bugs :/
I think they are doing a great job to find them

Those factions were added and released before I joined the B&I development team

I see what you are saying and I definitely agree with you on some. The "What if" scenario is a interesting Alt-History aspect that I very much am looking forward too. What if England accepted our alliance to bring down the yanks, and same to Mexico. For me, I would very much like the weapons to be accurate as they can be. Reloads, Shooting, Ammo, Melee etc etc. Just because a few others complain doesnt mean it speaks for the community as a whole.

All I want is the Sharps rifle for the sharpshooters

but then i saw this ... let's say "fan fiction" based on the 1860s Civil War context, beside this was possible and it's foreign forces accurate to the period , it's not historical accurate,

If you want to play historical, play with CSA vs. USA.
If you want to have a fun round or doing "a/historical" events.. like the Siege of Alamo or a Mexican Invasion of Texas, play with Foreign Intervention vs. CSA.

There is no a-historical unit added to any of those civil war factions. The Foreign Intervention is an own faction, which can be ignored at any time.

that is everyone literally keeps saying to the people who dont like them, like there is the CSA vs USA, I am pretty sure when the next version gets released, 90% of the line battles will still be USA vs CSA, not with the foreign, and it is also an admin decision or poll the nations on each servers what faction goes out against each other. The mod is still about the American Civil War, but finally it will have more faction and more unit more fun, the fundementals of it doubtly will change. It is just an option to go against the Foreign fac.

I agree. I hope there are others willing to preserve the real North and South and the history that allows us to love this mod.

Like others have said, you can still play as the Confederates and the Union, it's not like they're gone forever. If you don't like the new nations (faction), don't play as them. Simple as that. Balance is necessary in a game, but I would like some weapons added that were taken out because people complained about it.

Well its in the hands of the event admins.

Is it too late to make a suggestion? I would love for the bugler to be able to play taps so we can hold a ceremony after battles to the fallen
