It was released in late 2011 according to the page, so it should be compatible.

Actually, while slavery was probably the most important reason for the Civil War, it had very complicated reasons. The Industrial Revolution was in full boom during the 1850s and 1860s, and the North industrialized at a much faster rate than the South. The North had a large supply of immigrants willing to work in factories for low wages, and as such didn't need slavery, while the South, which was mostly rich white men and slaves, needed the slaves to work in the fields as THEY sure as hell wouldn't.Unfortunately for the South, Enlightenment ideas about the universal equality of humans were influential in the richer and more "European" North. When the South succeeded, if Britain and France somehow became involved and fought on the Confederate side, the Union was doomed, and they knew it. At the beginning of the war, slavery was legal in all of the United States. The government saw that if they ended slavery, it would not only virtually guarantee European neutrality, but cripple the South's (which was still a de jure part of the Union) economy. The Emancipation Proclamation was therefore as much as a political move as a moral one. Of course slavery wasn't particularly liked in the North, but then again, the United States was highly racist up until the 1960s or so.

Most likely, there will be British characters. Not only that, but if the assassin is on the American side (or neutral) like I assume, it'll even give Ubisoft a reason to paint Brits as horrible people. You should be scared.

The flag is that of the 13 colonies, which later became the first 13 states of the United States. It's likely to be set in the American Revolution, or a time period shortly after it. The "bad" people in that war were the British, if you concede that history is written by the victors. Impress your friends by saying the American Revolution was won by a crazy assassin running on buildings and stabbing random people.

When I was a kid, my parents, teachers, and basically everyone told me to never touch the screen of a computer. I, like an idiot, decided to touch the computer screen. It got smudgy and wasn't pleasant at all. Now they WANT me to touch screens? Fuck you, I want to eat my Hot Pockets while on my computer without damaging it too much.
