Chapter 391： Injustice (1/2)

Ottawa, after months of negotiations, in September 1865, the multi-party talks finally reached preliminary results.

Under the interference of the British, French, and Western countries, the US federal government recognized the independence of the Confederacy and the Indians, and the United States officially split.

The controversial states of Maryland and West Virginia have joined the Commonwealth in areas that support the Northern Government and the Confederacy in areas that support the Southern Government.

It is not surprising if the land areas of the two governments are intertwined. This time, the people are free to choose which government to join, and finally the town is the unit.

There is no doubt that this is the writing of the British, they are professional. Now we have buried the contradictions between the North and the South, and we can imagine that the Americas will be lively in the future.

The Confederate government includes: North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Virginia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Missouri, Kentucky, and parts of Maryland and West Virginia .

Arizona and New Mexico have also been included in the Southern Government. (Roughly Arizona and New Mexico)

The Indian emirate is a bit pitiful, being caught in the middle of the North and South governments, and there are only poor Indian settlements on the site. (Roughly Oklahoma today)

After the split, the overall national strength of the United States is still dominated by the northern government, with a population of 17.645 million and inheriting nearly two-thirds of the United States ’industry and 63.2% of its territory.

The Confederate government followed closely with a population of 11.988 million and inherited nearly one-third of the United States' industry and 34.1% of its territory.

The Indian emirate can be ignored, the population has not been counted, anyway, it does not exceed 1 million, the territory area is less than 200,000 square kilometers, and the industry is almost zero.

(Note: The United States in 1865 did not include Alaska and Hawaii, and most overseas islands in later generations were not included.)

Of course, this is only a preliminary agreement reached by everyone, and the specific details will continue to be ridiculed. Especially with regard to national borders, this will take time to determine.

However, this does not affect everyone's signing of the treaty. On September 30, 1865, the Lincoln government reluctantly signed this armistice treaty under the urging of the four countries.

The signing of the treaty also means the end of the Lincoln government's administration time. No further urging is required. Lincoln submitted his resignation to Congress the next day.

This will go very smoothly without any twists and turns. The biggest black pot is done, and naturally someone comes up to pick it up. Just after the election is over, the Lincoln administration can leave.

After the civil war, the federal government returned to Washington again. In any case, it is still the capital of the Federation.

Even if they were ruined, they must return. This is politically correct and marks the legitimacy of the federal government.

Stepping into the White House again, Lincoln seemed twenty years old. There are broken walls everywhere, and the former political center has become a ruin.

”Hey!”

A sigh, said the helplessness of life.

The Civil War was not Lincoln's responsibility. The capital counties in the North began to count down from the beginning when the capitalists dominated the government.

It was just that he was out of luck, just in time for this crucial time, carrying this mouthful of black pot.

In history, the northern government won the war, Lincoln was assassinated just after the war, and it became the sympathy of the people, before it became the greatest president of the United States.

This blame naturally fell on the previous president. Now that the situation has changed, although the last term could not run away, his current president is even worse.

Political opponents will not let go of this opportunity and step on the loser, which is normal.

Some people who are unhappy about the Lincoln government are preparing to sue them for violating the Constitution and provoking civil war, killing millions.

The civil war was too miserable. The northern government lost: 572,000 soldiers were killed or wounded. 267,000 soldiers were disabled due to injuries. 23,000 soldiers died of illness. 12,000 died of various accidents. , Executed in violation of military discipline ...

This is just a loss to the military and does not include civilian casualties. Although Dai Xiao had not yet arrived at home, everyone was crying, not far from this.

Don't look like the losses of the Russians in the Near East War, but the Tsarist government won in name and occupied Constantinople and Bulgaria.

Although Constantinople is in ruins and Bulgarians are still thinking about independence, this does not detract from the political success of the Tsarist government.

The federal government can't do it, they have failed strategically. There is no way to shirk responsibility.
