I will say, now that Battlefield 1 proved WWI isn't commercial suicide, I'm worried it'll become over-saturated (with the Wonder Woman movie now set in WWI, for some reason). That's more a western problem though.

As for why the American Civil War, I guess I just imagined it as a Harry Potter Pensive like experiment, just a sort of sharing of history that might not have affected you but affected the person telling it, but actually made entertaining (though as stated, it has to be presented well. Telling your grandchildren about your adventures in the Spinicker Wars has promise, but being not being a good story teller will probably cause you to run the risk of them leaving in the middle of it).
