I also forgot to mention something ... possibly massively historically relevant:
The force that responded to Brown's raid on the armory?
Led by Robert E Lee himself.
Maybe make him a high priority target for our timeline rectification force.
If I remember correctly, historically Lee's force came marching down the major road just south of the Ridgetop Outlook... but time travel tends to make things fucky wucky (that and 'no plan survives initial contact with the enemy'), they may come in from a different route, hence Ridgetop team planning on potentially needing to reposition, under direction from the other team who is more elevated on the other side of the Potomac.
But if Lee approaches from what I think is the 'canonincal' route, then they're already well positioned for an ambush.
EDIT:
Fucking Jeb Stuart was Lee's second in command, add his portrait to the card deck.
There was a game about this called like ~~Darkest Hours~~ Darkest of Days or something lol
You know, I remeber watching some kind of 'wtf is this weird game' type review of that game sometime ago.
I don't think it involves John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry, but yeah basically its like... a WW1 soldier, I think?, is 'killed' in the 'canon' timeline, and the literal instant before that, he is timefrozen, recruited by the timepolice into the timepolice, and is then deployed to various civil war (and other?) battles to ... unfuck some other kind of nonsense some ... basically timeterrorists are doing.
... Something like that.
Also, it is apparently now abandonware.

... I was gonna post a gif of Einstein shaking Hitler's hand and dematerializing him, from Red Alert, but I can't actually find any, and I can't find a screen record -> gif flatpak that works on Bazzite... no Wayland support.
... Do any of the TimeSplitters games go to the civil war? I don't remember.
I think it was oboeshoes that reviewed it
Yep, that sounds about right.
