1864 AD for you. I wonder if there was anything interesting going on in 1864.
Would you visit the north, the south, or would you find something interesting overseas?

Man oh man where to begin. I witnessed Ulysses S. Grant being appointed commander of Union Army, General Robert E. Lee winning his last victory of Civil War at Battle of Cold Harbor, Abraham Lincoln renominated for US President by Republican Party, US Civil War Battle of Mobile Bay was won by the Union led by Rear Admiral Farragut with the cry "Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!", Union General William T. Sherman captures and burns Atlanta, Jesse James' gang surprise attack train: 150 killed, a personal favorite here, Abraham Lincoln (R) elected to his 2nd term as American President, and a civil war battle basically every single day this year. Lots of blood shed.
