I (Grandpafootsoldier) have uploaded this image, Civilwaranationdivided.jpg, here. Though the picture is subject to copyright, I feel it is covered by the U.S. fair use laws for this page alone because:

1. it is a low resolution copy of a video game cover;
2. it contributes to the article significantly;
3. it does not limit the copyright owner's ability to sell copies of the game in any way;
4. no free equivalent is available at this time
