The first series in the Griffins & Gunpowder universe takes a lot of inspiration from the American Civil War. The technology and rapid development of what many consider to be modern warfare tactics, some character inspiration and loose basis for some of the battles.

As a kid I was a fountain of random facts and knowledge. In college, I took many classes about this period and the military history on my way to a History Minor.

So, naturally I think, I consume a great deal of American Civil War content. I’ve always had a love for studying this period of time.

Well, in doing so, last night my brain decided to poke me with an idea. After a quick session of bouncing the idea off the wall with my mom (thanks mom!) I worked out some of the implications and ways to integrate an anti-slavery thread into the Ansgari Civil War.

And I stayed up way past my bedtime sliding the initial concept into The Cerberus Uprising.

Should be interesting 😁
