As a result the victory points get allocated for the historical timeline, so the Union are currently not in a good place as they do not have Memphis or New Orleans. Worse they need to "free the slaves". If they do that it will give the Confederates 5 Political Points which would then given them a 50% chance at declaring victory (which would represent the peace party taking control and/or a revolt against emancipation - all very real things based on my reading of the excellent Bruce Catton trilogy on the war).<br /><br />So there is still a lot of play in the game (although it might not be a whole lotta fun for the Confederates). The Union need to capture Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta and Richmond to put an end to the rebellion and preserve the Union.
