What is the republic's policy towards Tories?

<SNIPPED AClone's post for brevity>

Umm ... Sorry, AClone, Lyonheart is more likely to be correct (especially if you consider where our esteemed author currently resides). During the "War between the States" (aka "The ACW", although official US Army histories label it "The War of the Rebellion" [see: U.S. Army counterinsurgency and contingency operations doctrine, 1860–1941 http://www.history.army.mil/html/books/070/70-66-1/CMH_Pub_70-66-1.pdf]), a Confederate General (R. E. Lee) commanded the Army of Northern Virginia (named so, as that was where it expected to engage in combat). Another Confederate General (J. E. Johnston) was commander of the Army of Tennessee, which held off a flanking attack by Union General James McPherson's Army of the Mississippi (I can guarantee it's soldiers didn't come from Mississippi ) which happened to be Union General W. T. Sherman's former command.

Elsewhere in the world (at about the same time period - 1870), during the "Franco-Prussian War", French Marshals Bazaine commanded the Army of Metz, MacMahon the Army of Strasbourg, and Canrobert the Army of Chalons. Facing them were the German First Army under General Stienmetz, Second Army under Crown Prince Charles [of Prussia], and Third Army under the Imperial Crown Prince Friedrich Wilhelm.

Curiously, before the end of the war, the French armies named for their operational areas became numbered Corp under the control of a MUCH larger Army of the Rhine and the German numbered Armies were subsumed into the op-area named Army of the Meuse (if you want to view an EXCELLENT website describing this war, see: http://francoprussianwar.com/war.htm) .

The world of military science was changing rapidly at this point, so just about ANY labelling method would be correct (especially in a world like Safehold where about three T-centuries of change were compressed into about three S-Years)!

Just wondering but are you currently editing the book to shoot down Lyonheart's ideas?

1 - Its True Name was
"The War For Slaveholders' Privileges."

2 - "intended" not "expected" to fight there,
but note that Lee did take it into Maryland in 1862,
and into Pennsylvania in 1863.
Still, this has the Best Support of all these points.

3 - The Army of Tennessee was in Georgia,
for all the time that Joe Johnston commanded it.

4 - McPherson and Sherman commanded the
(Union) Army of the Tennessee, which Grant had
formed there and taken to Vicksburg, Miss.
It was dependent on the Tennessee River for supplies,
but was in Georgia during McPherson's tenure.
NOTE: it did recruit some soldiers in Mississippi.
Almost all of them were black.

The Union Army of the Mississippi was Pope's outfit.

Nope. Too late for that sort of frivolity.
