CHAPTER ONE
ACT I
In 1860, the states of North America- under the leadership of James Buchanan had began to truly fracture and fold. When Republican Abraham Lincoln of Illinois was elected in November, South Carolina seceded. Soon, Virginia to the Indian Territories, including Arkansas, down to Texas and over again to Florida were all part of a secessionist government. They titled themselves “The Confederate States of America”, because they were a Confederacy of men. They elected Mississippi US Senator Jefferson Davis and set out to create a nation for themselves, based upon what they called “The constitutional right to secede”. Laying beneath the surface was the bloody and brutal “peculiar institution” of slavery. This is the story of the CSA, from the rise of that nation.
Above is a picture of Jefferson Davis being sworn in as acting President of the CSA,
Above is a picture of frontier-man Abraham Lincoln elected president.
The North American States at the time of the Second American Revolution
The Confederate government is formalized and the senate and house are reorganized to better represent constituents
President Davis was known to be a staunch supporter of his country, but it surprised no one when he said “We may be doomed, gentlemen” at a cabinet meeting, following Grant moving troops through Roanoke. However, when the Union intervened in a British-Confederate affair and refused to back down, the UK took it as an insult and declared for the CSA
President Davis discreetly announced his plan to halt shipments of Cotton to the rest of the world until recognition of this new American government came. Cotton was a valued import, and this could take a heavy toll on Europe, as the CSA was the main provider.
Under Confederate ambassadors Slidell and Mason, a treaty was signed with the United Kingdom of Great Britain, uniting the Kingdom with the Confederacy in an alliance against the Yankees.
One of the biggest battles of the war, the Battle of Staunton Virginia. The Yankee army, led by Ulysses S. Grant against Robert E. Lee, a southern general. Lee lost over 26 thousand. Grant lost nearly 40.
After a year and a half of fighting, General Lee was dead, a victim of Camp Fever in Greenville. His aide-de-camp and next in command, Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson took command of the Army. Even with British help, things looked grim, so when Jackson was able to sneak upon almost 12,000 Union men at Fredericksburg, he killed everyone. He became known as a cold, calculating man.
The Confederates sign a treaty of Status Quo Antebellum, excepting the secession of the fully controlled 11 rebel states. A grand day for a new republic!
