OOC: Just goint to say this now. But the balls and rifles at the time wern't vary accurate. Maybe 50 yards and they woudl be fine. But dont worry, John will get hit.

IC: John turned twisted his back in order to crack it. John thought he heard the sound of a rifle but ignored it and then a second later he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder. "Damn, I am hit. Must be a sharpshooter out there aiming for Sherman. You officer, get your men and scout the area. Check in the trees and places where they could see the desk." Said John as he moved towards the back of the tent to look at his wound. "Some one get the doctor in here to remove the ball." Said John as he put his hand over the wound to protect it. John knew that it didnt go though his shoulder, but it was deep. This would take time to heal, and time was somthing they didnt have.

OOC: 69 Smoothbores could shoot 100 yards. a 58 Springfield Musket could shoot 300 yards at a man and 600 yards at a man on horse.

I know my stuff. Just look it up if you're not sure.

I trust you. they still arn't that accurate. SInce there were no groves in the guns at the time the bullet could stray off path.

The 69 Smoothbores was around since the Revoulution. The Springfield recent. Both I belive didn't have rifling so they were unaccruate I believe. But the Confederacy had Withworth rifles (snipers). That were accurate.

[Nytavuthar]

The sharpshooter had to take the risk of jumping. Once he jumped it was a long way down. He felt a sharp pain in his left leg. He hobbled off as quickly as he can before falling at the river. He couldn't get back up. He decided to wait maybe one of his fellow soldiers could find him and take him back to the camp.

[Fowlick]

Five union soldiers went searching. They came upon the fallen sniper and put him in irons. They carried him back to the camp. When they returned a medic was attending to Brackmen in a seperate tent and the sniper was taken to Sherman. Sherman was furious."YOU REBEL SCUM!"He picked up the southerner and threw him into a chair."You nearly killed one of my finest officers. Now tell me what you know or else you will not be able to speak at all."

OOC: Don't think Sherman was like that.

[Nytavuthar]

The sniper responded " All I know is that I am a sharpshooter who is trying to keep my family and my home.I am serving under Colonel Allderman fighting against the Union."

OOC:when he was drunk.

IC:"Well, I have a proposition for you. If you agree to join the union, then I will let you live. If you do so, then betray my trust. I will not be able to guarantee your safety."Sherman said this with a straight face.

[Nytavuthar]

" How about I lead you to Colonel Allderman himself so you can talk to him. Maybe you can convince him to join the Union."

John had just walked into the tent where the sharpshooter was. "Well, I wont lose the arm. But I can't do anything for a few days. Doctor's orders." Said John as he heard the mans proposal. "Sherman, we could attack him and capture him. Then we could move about the region freely and raid supplies that would be virtualy defenseless." Said John as he pulled out a map. "Why dose your commander want me dead?" Asked John.

[Nytavuthar]

"My commander wants you dead because he heard one of your men say your name , and he saw you had pretty good tactics. So he thought you would play a big role for the Union in the West so he ordered me to kill you. Listen, I only wanted to defend my family and home from danger like what you would do so I went to fight."

"So he is afraid that if I became a General or if became a high Ranking officer and I planed the attacks and training that the Union would ain't he war correct?" Asked John as he pulled out his revolver and set it on the table and looked into the rebel's eyes. "If I had a family, and I wanted to protect them. I would have stayed with them. But since I am only engaged I dont know how it feels." Said John.

[Nytavuthar]

"Do you want to talk to him yourself?"

[The Old North]

After snoozing off for a brief moment Sgt. Smith opens his eyes and looks up to see his CO standing over him.

-Sgt. Smith "Sorry sir, my eye's got the best of me"
He stood up and Saluted, the CO Saluted back

-The CO "Well don't let it happen too often, a war is brewing out there...A Civil war... Until we commit to true battle we need to keep these indians at bay, their constant harassment at times like these make me wonder the true cause of these attacks. I want you and five of your men to find these Indians, and I want you to make sure they don't come back."

-Sgt. Smith "Yes sir, We will be back before you know it."

-CO "Good, and I want you to take these new rifles, a bit more accurate then those muskets you have there. These are known as the Springfield rifle. I don't know the science behind it but there is some sort of twist in the barrel that keeps these bullets going straighter and further. Oh and take a good amount of ammo, not sure how many of those redskins are out there."

Sgt. Smith and his men grab the rifles, Sgt. Smith(out of habit and perhaps ritual) grabs two bayonets along with the ammo. They load up and left Fort Defiance and headed west.

[Maverica]

Captian Jacob was getting impatiant waiting for the cannons. He sent another letter that said

DEAR General Sherman I am captian Jacob of the 1st PA calvery and we belive that the rebles are going to attack Baltimore and we do not have any cannons. We only have 150 calvery men and the rebles have a whole army coming. We just want to kill as many rebs as we can and then retreat. We spent a week digging trenches and building little walls. We will only like 1 or 2 cannons and maybe send some reanforcments to help defend Baltimore.
From: Captian Jacob

He then walked down to the town and sent it to General Sherman.

[The Keystone Federation]

Cheveyo was walking down a small horse trail, through the town of Chancellorsville, he was nearing the Virginian/Maryland border, almost home free to the union. He covered his head with a hood so to disguise himself when walking through the town, not much respect was given to 'redskins' in the south. Two confederates walked over to him.
"Hey, you there! Stop!" The two men walked over towards Cheveyo, muskets in hand.
"Hey, you we're talking to you!" Cheveyo continued walking, fists clenched.
"Hey! We're talking to you, you damned fool!" The two men pushed Cheveyo with their rifles, Cheveyo immediately reacted, pulling out a scythe and hitting the first man in the neck and throwing him on the ground behind him. The other man went to bayonet Cheveyo, he grabbed the end of his rifle, using the butt of it to wack the man in the stomach before throwing the rifle to the ground and hitting the man three times in the chest with his scythe. Because he was in a wooded area, he saw no point in running, he got off of the trail to avoid suspicion and kept hiking his way towards Maryland.

A spy from the 1st Pa calvery seen him coming in the woods. He said to himself he may now were the rebs are. The spy ran over to a log and jump out in front of Cheveyo and said why are you here and are you a reb.

The union was in shock. While the general union populous was preoccupied with other battles, Robert E. Lee had taken Washington DC and now holds Abraham Lincon hostage. Lincon is now faced a choice; surrender to the south or else. The joyous shouting of the confederate solders permeates as Lincon signs the treaty that says the confederacy is now a sovereign nation.



I'm from Georgia, so naturally the confederacy has to win.

OCC: When did you attack the north?

Sgt. Smith, Carlos Movements

Shortly after leaving the Fort he and his men found a farm, away from the protection of Unions troops, and many Indian bodies outside.

-Sgt. Smith "Alright men, we may have trouble up ahead"

They quickly readied themselves and prepared to enter.

-Sgt. Smith "Anybody inside?"
A faint but still audible came from inside.

-Unknown " Who goes there? Take your little bows and spears back home, we have no quarrel with you."

-Sgt. Smith "We are Union soldiers, we saw the bodies, we thought that there would be more of them inside. We have been ordered to eradicate to source."

Out stepped the owner of the house with his family and farm workers.

-Landlord "Oh really? Well if that's the case, take Eric. He may not be the smartest farmhand but he is a good worker and a VERY good shot. Those bodies are all of his doing. Please take him, I know he has been seeking revenge since they butchered his parents."

The farmhand steps out, he has a dark complexion as well as strong and rather fearsome build to anyone that may seek trouble. He is quite large, larger then the sergeant by at least half a foot

-Sgt. Smith "Eric is it?"

-Eric "Yeser, I may not be edukated, but I don't like them ingians. They done killed my papa and mamma. If you would be so kind to let me come with you, I would make myself very helpful against the ingians. I may not know where they come from but I know how to stop 'um with my rifle."

-Sgt. Smith "Well I don't think the lieutenant would mind, and if you are as good as they say neither, would we. Let's keep going then"

After this ordeal the Seargent and his men, as well as Eric, moved west in search for the Indian camp.

(OOC)The civil war hasn't even started idiots! There were skirmishes here and there but they weren't marching to DC already. Please Edit your post about taking DC, it's very unrealistic especially since the confederate army hasn't even mobilized to marching position.I understand Fake battles but really?In real life there was a moment after i believe the battle of first manasses the rebels could have taken DC but they stayed back for whatever reason, a move that early would end the war undoubtedly and render this RP pretty much over

[Fowlick]

Sherman smiled as the cowards retreated."Now that was a fight."He said putting away his pistol."Now men back to your tents. If an attack comes again the alarm will sound."Sherman got the message and replied with saying that baltimore may have 5 cannons. He then sent the cannons, with armed escort, on their way."Now what were you saying Captain?"

OOC:Maverica you missed this.
