Holy Roman Empire

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

The United States federal government recognized the independence of the Confederacy and the Indians under the intervention of the four countries of Britain, France, and Océ, and the United States officially split.

In the controversial states of Maryland and West Virginia, regions that support the northern government join the Federation, and regions that support the southern government join the Confederation.

If it is found that the land areas of the two north and south governments are intertwined, it is not surprising.This time, the people freely choose which government to join, and finally take the town as the unit.

There is no doubt that this is the handwriting of the British, they are professional.Now that the contradictions between the North and the South are buried, it is conceivable that the Americas will be lively in the future.

The Confederacy 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 are also included in the Southern Government.(Roughly Arizona and New Mexico)

The Indian emirate is a little bit pitiful, and is sandwiched between the north and south governments, and there are only poor Indian settlements on the site.(Roughly today Oklahoma)

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

The Confederacy government followed closely, with a population of 11.984 million, inheriting nearly one-third of the US industry and 34.1% of the territory.

The Indian Emirate is negligible, the population has not been counted, anyway, no more than 1 million, the territory area is less than 200,000 square kilometers, and the industry is almost zero.

(Remarks: The United States in 1865 did not include Alaska and Hawaii, and most of the overseas islands in later generations did not.)

Of course, this is just a preliminary agreement reached by everyone, and the specific details will continue to be rash.In particular, the issue of national boundaries requires time to determine.

However, this did not affect everyone's signing of the treaty. Under the supervision of the four countries, Anglo-French and Ocean, on September 30, 1865, the Lincoln government reluctantly signed the Armistice Treaty.

The signing of the treaty also means the end of the time of the Lincoln government's administration, and no one needs to urge it. Lincoln submitted his resignation to Congress the next day.

This will go very smoothly without any setbacks.The biggest black pot was finished, and someone came up naturally to pick up the dish.As long as the election is over, the Lincoln government can leave.

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

Even if they were smashed into ruins, they had to come back.This is politically correct and marks the legitimacy of the federal government.

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

"Hey!"

With a sigh, he said the helplessness of his life.

The Civil War was not Lincoln ’s responsibility, and the countdown to the war began when the capitalists in the north dominated the government.

It's just that he was out of luck, and it happened to catch up with this critical moment, carrying this black pot on his back.

Historically, the northern government won the war, and Lincoln was assassinated just after the war, drawing the sympathy of the people, before becoming the greatest president of the United States.

This black pot naturally fell on the previous president.Now that the situation has changed, the previous term will certainly not run away, and his current president is even more sinful.

Political opponents will not miss this opportunity and step on the top of the loser. This is normal.

Some people who are unhappy with the Lincoln government are preparing to prosecute them for violating the Constitution and provoking a civil war, which has caused millions of deaths.

The civil war was too bad. The northern government suffered losses: 572,000 soldiers were killed or seriously injured, 267,000 soldiers were disabled due to injuries, 23,000 soldiers died of disease, and 12,000 people died in various accidents. , Executed in violation of military discipline ...

This is only an army loss, not including civilian casualties.Although we haven't arrived at our home to wear filial piety, everyone is crying, not far from here.

Do n’t look like the losses of the Russians in the Near East War, but the Tsarist government won nominally and occupied Constantinople and Bulgaria.

Although Constantinople has become a ruin, the Bulgarians still want to be independent, which still does not undermine the political success of the tsarist government.

The federal government will not work, they will fail strategically.There is no way to shirk responsibility.

"Why can't you bear it?"

I don't know when Secretary of State Safar appeared behind Lincoln.

Lincoln shook his head and said, "No, when I first entered this place, I knew it was a mess. It was just that I felt that I could fix it and reunify the country.

However, I overestimated myself and underestimated the enemy.Now I have to leave in disgrace, maybe I will be the first president to enter prison."

Safar comforted: "Before this, there may be such a possibility, but from the moment you submit your resignation, this possibility will not exist.

The worst result is nothing more than an amnesty order signed by the next president.The Republicans will not watch us go in. This is the rule of the game."

The President of the United States has the right to amnesty. In addition to being impeached, the President can grant amnesty to anyone, including the former President, without permission from any agency.

According to the rules of the political game, the president can resign in advance in exchange for an amnesty from the next president.

"Amnesty" means that all the previous charges were cancelled and resigned in advance, so impeachment will naturally be impossible to talk about.

Before signing the Armistice Treaty, Lincoln was required to bear the blame, and Congress would not impeach him.As soon as the Armistice Treaty was signed, he resigned himself, the Republican-dominated Congress had approved it, and impeachment would no longer exist.

Because of the independence of the southern region, the Democrats were seriously hurt, and there was no way to compete with the Republicans in a short time.

Most of the next president will still be from the Republican Party, and no party wants his president to be convicted and "create history". The Republican Party will naturally try to protect Lincoln.

Even if the Democratic Party wins the election, they will be pardoned for political reasons.

This is the rule of the game in American politics. Even in the 21st century, no US president has been jailed for crime.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no prosecution."Poker Cabinet" President Harding, corrupt President Grant, "Watergate" President Nixon and so on, all finally landed safely.

Now some people are shouting to sue, in fact, it is just because of the need for election publicity.Radicals are just being exploited, and politicians will not break the rules of the game.

Even if Lincoln resigns, it does not mean that the Lincoln government can leave, and it will not wait until the transfer of rights has passed.

This is also the end of his term, otherwise the president will resign and the vice president will be replaced.Still on his own, the amnesty order came out long ago.

...

Franz had no interest in the internal rights struggle in the United States. He was still unable to extricate himself in the joy of American split.

Once split, it is possible for a second time.From the moment the federal government recognized the independence of the South, it meant that Lincoln ’s patch had failed.

The reason why the constitution is the constitution lies in its authority.If it can be modified at will, is it still the Constitution?

Although Lincoln introduced a law prohibiting federal division, this has not been recognized by the state governments. Many federal states do not recognize this law.

After a civil war, if some federal states become independent again, can the federal government organize force suppression?

To know this civil war, if it is not for the southern government to start first, whether the federal government can organize the army is still unknown.

In this era, the states in the United States have too much power, and they all have the ability to avoid the federal government.For example: the federal army is prohibited from entering the state.

Without the cooperation of the states, the Washington government has difficulty mobilizing the domestic military, let alone organizing the military.

Now because of the civil war, the prestige of the federal government has greatly diminished, and its binding power on the states has further declined.This means that for a long time to come, the United States will no longer be a threat.

If the federal government is a loose coalition, then the confederate government has to go one step further. Each state has more rights than the states of the new Holy Roman Empire.

The Confederate government can be understood in this way: every state is an independent small kingdom, and everyone has formed an alliance together, which is the current Confederate government.
