User blog:Frymon/Ideas for my Timeline needed

Hello all,

I am working on my timeline, A Southron World, and I am currently stuck with where to bring it, so far I have gotten to the year 1869, but I have no idea what else I should have until the early 1900s. Does anyone have some ideas for me? Obviously I'm going to try and reflect some real-world events, but I am looking for something that the Confederacy would really effect upon.
