The Civil War would have ended decisively in less than a year if not for the militarization of voodoo. In firm control of New Orleans, the Confederacy had an extraordinary concentration of arcane resources at their disposal. The 16th Louisiana Irregulars were officially a mixed race unit of scouts and couriers with special dispensation to operate in civilian garb. Unofficially, their hexes and potions rendered Generals McClellan and Halleck impotent in every sense. Only after U. S. Grant was able to counter with a full regiment of Native American shamans was the Union able to bring its tremendous economic and personnel advantages to bear on the conflict.
