Two new engagements -- Secessionville, Charleston, South Carolina (CSA victory) and St. Charles, Arkansas (USA victory) -- bring the total engagements to 122.
Of those, for the first time, the number fought in Confederate states equals the number fought in the Union, at 61 each.

Democrats!! Working to undermine a Republican administration.

Good thing that'll never happen again... will it?
