Hey guys. I did a lot of editing here about 4 years ago, until life and all got in the way. So first, let me say you all have done a great job on it. Now my question on "origin worlds."

I'm a little over halfway through "Blood in the Water" and an getting close to meeting some of the primary characters from the new United States. Are these guys from our world, assuming "our world" or timeline is the same as the Walker's crew. Or, are they from yet another world separate of the original timeline of the Walker's crew? I ask because the leader of the new Americans appears to be a man by the name of Semmes. The Semmes family has a fairly historical naval presence in our world. The most famous of that family is Raphael Semmes, who commanded the raider CSS Alabama during the Civil War. Raphael had served in the Mecican war as well, as commander of the USS Somers. In our history the Somers was lost in Dec 1846, in a squall off Veracruz (which Semmes survived). This makes me wonder if the new Americans are perhaps from yet another origin world or timeline where that squall sent Semmes and his ship to this world, where his family became major players in thier new nation. The timing of thier appearance, the location, the name, and the squall all seem to match the format of different origin worlds.
