I have installed an scenario, and i didn't make a backup.
It has replaced my Bosnia flag with the one of the Confederates States of America, so imagine how beatiful it is :( ....

Since the CSA flag is often associated with some rather unpleasent people, I can't really imagine it as beautiful.

It wasn't actually about slavery. It was about the right of states to secede from the union. Unfortunately, the people who first decided to secede were slave owners, and this stained the idea of cession. I'm an American history student from Texas, the civil war is of great interest to me. In fact, one of General Lee's aide de camp's (can't remember which one), was a South Carolinian Calvinist who said that all the slaves should be freed in order to make the CSA a more humanitarian place. Nothing came of it though, mostly because then-president Jackson and CinC Robert E. Lee were both morons and bigots.

Edit: Sorry if I was a bit snappy, but I'm sick of hearing it was about slavery, especially from people who don't even live in the U.S.!

Some say simplistically that the Civil War was fought over slavery. Unfortunately, there is no "simple" reason. The causes of the war were a complex series of events, including slavery, that began long before the first shot was fired. Competing nationalisms, political turmoil, the definition of freedom, the preservation of the Union, the fate of slavery and the structure of society and economy could all be listed as significant contributing factors in America's bloodiest conflict.

Sorry if I too am a bit snappy but I think europeans in general know more about U.S. history than americans know about european. :)
