I am looking at an abandonware game to put on our website. The game is 
called American Civil War: From Sumpter to Appomattox. A description of the 
game is shown at 
http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/simulations/games_a/american_civil_war_from_sumter_to_appomattox.html

I noticed that at the bottom of the page there is reference to a game called 
"Civil War Generals 2.

Is anyone here familiar with either of these games? I understand the 
American Civil War may not be very user friendly. But, my greater concern is 
with the historic authenticity of the games. Will they be an acceptable 
means for students to learn about the civil war? Is there a bias towards one 
side or the other in the games?
