Start Date is the turn number, with Jan I 1861 = 0, Jan II 1861 = 1, Feb I 1861 = 2, etc...

So, for example, the Start Date of the Standard scenario is 20 (Nov I 1861).

BTW, Grant's current start date is historically off. He should be comin' in much sooner in the forthcoming patch.

You can demote a leader. There's an icon at the bottom of the screen if you want to demote him. As far as getting rid of as in dismissing, I don't think that's possible. You could either attach him to a brigade and charge like mad hoping he dies, or do what I do and stick him in a fort. I believe any commander gives you a defensive bonus in a siege so I stick the bad ones in forts (or cities).
