At length he learns that the people are all androids, with two elderly alien generals playing a war game.

Disclose Notes: Issued in the centennial of the first year of the American Civil War. Despite the title, there is no time travel. As Superboy fails to save the doubles he moans that it's impossible to change history, but in fact there is no history -- everything happening is unfolding for the first time.
