Historicly the wild west was not just after the civil war.  The westward
expansion started much earlier than the Civil war.  There was even battles
fought in the west.  Therefore I say why no confederates.  Even after the
civil war many confederate soldiers wore parts of their rag tag uniforms in
their civilian lives when they return home.
I totally agree with the other points that you made.  I think that everyone
would agree with the fact that they need a train set.  I remember talking
before about a southern theme with mexicans before and I would love to see
that.  Also it would be nice to see a northern theme with mountain men and
maybe even canadian mounties.
