needs more text. No one can make an essay on this! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.54.154.26 ( talk) 22:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
The map is wrong. Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia were not rebel states, though they could not be said to be Billy Yanks. And Oklahoma as Indian Territory fought for the CSA. The other territories all supported the Union except for New Mexico Territory (Arizona and New Mexico) which was divided in loyalty. Also, Maryland and Delaware fought on the Union side but were not considered Billy Yanks.
A more correct map would show Arizona, New Mexico, Missouri, Kentucky, West Virginia, Maryland and Delaware as neutral. Oklahoma as pink. And all the other states not already red or blue as light blue. And that still wouldn't be accurate. Missouri and Kentucky should probably be purple. It's almost silly to try to make a map of it without a better article to explain the map. Halfelven ( talk) 13:01, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Needs its own article and a link or more fleshing out: documentation, titles, storyline, etc. He's certainly not a major character in the DC Universe. Was this from a one-shot historical miniseries? - LlywelynII ( talk) 10:37, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
