You miss the last year by one year. That war ended in
1865.

Wrong again, take a look at a map for that war.
California and Oregon was on the North's side so I
guess they sent troops to the Ballefields in the east.
However Don Rosa has once told me (when I was doing my
WEB-pages about the history of Duckburg) that Calisota
was neutral in that war.

Forreign power? Why not indians?

I guess that Stonewall Duck must have been the leader
of the Woodchuck Militia in 1860.
