I wrote this American Civil War series to add a new understanding of the History of the United States of American. Our Country's actual history should not be written for current political ideals as you might not like what the next political group changes to meet their objectives. It is only by studying history and learning the lessons and the mistakes of the past that we will know who we Americans are.
In writing my version of the American Civil War I have used the O'Neil family who were from New York and moved to Virginia to manage a Southern Plantation on the James River. By presenting the emerging views and opinions of the members of the O'Neil family on historical events and the political issues that lead up to the Civil War i have established why the South felt they had no alternative but to seek their Independence from a Government that no longer represented them.
In Trojan Faces Confederate Captain Micheal Patrick O's killed Union Colonel James j Stockton who could have been O'Neil's twin brother and O'Neil takes Stockton's place in President Lincoln's White House as a confederate Spy to help the South win the War.
