I'd like to understand your comment better but I really have a hard time understanding what happened in the USA in the 1860s. Just like TangoTrotFox was kind enough to assume that not everybody here knows Bavarian history by heart, can you not assume everybody here is American? I googled for "USA 1860s" and followed some links but I can't get further than stuff like the "Dakota War of 1862" which I doubt is what you're referring to.
