As the South, you don't have the resources to defeat the North 1v1.

Depends, if only you had tons of cotton farmers that could switch over to growing food.

You need to promise Mexico all of Cali, AZ, and NM,

As was said, Mexico was at war with France.

then offer Britain Washington, Oregon, parts of Michigan and Maine and stuff,

Those were all Northern Territories. Are you still talking about the South?

and tax-free, reduced-cost cotton.

Egypt and India. Britian had slavery "outlawed"

The British public opinion was on the side of America too. Thousands of Brits signed up.

For other uses, see America (disambiguation).
The Americas

The Americas, also collectively called America,[5][6][7] encompass the totality of North America and South America.[8][9][10] Together they make up most of Earth's western hemisphere[11] and comprise the New World.

America is a short-form name for the United States of America.

There's only one war that's officially called the "American Civil War". Obviously if I say "The German language" there won't be any confusion about whether I'm talking about romanian or french just because these languages happen to be spoken on the same continent as german.

That's an untruth.

Germany is not a landweight, America is, so all civil wars on America are American civil wars.

America isn't a continent. There are two continents that have names similar to "America", North America and South America, but there isn't any continent called "America".

I would remove US troops from the South, but keep a naval blockade while faking negotians for about five to ten years. This would force Britain and France to use Egyptian and Indian cotton, and put a strangle on the souths economy. Eventually, the south would be so destitute that it would collapse in on itself, and I would pick up the pieces.


1. Where would the Union be getting its raw material for 5 to 10 years? There was plenty of reason why Lincoln was hellbent on unity.

2. The blockade would resort to war with the Confederacy before 5 to 10 years came around.

3. There were no negotiations that would calm the Seceders down for 5 to 10 years.

If I were Lincoln, I would pretty much take the same course of action.

If I were Davis, I wouldn't want to be Davis.

Cotton? Egypt. Besides, Lincoln wanted to get reelected probably.

2. The blockade would resort to war with the Confederacy before 5 to 10 years came around.

Negotiations

3. There were no negotiations that would calm the Seceders down for 5 to 10 years.

Tease them with slave states, the land all the way to the Rio Grande, recognition, that kinda thing. Of course never give it to them, but between 5 and ten years in, end the blockade. Of course their tariff is going to be quite high though; and Egypt's quite low.

Faisal - 1416 is a liar. Slavery is impermissible. The imprisonment and forced labour and mistreatment of a people based on the colour of their skin is not allowed.

Fredonian. This land is Fredonia, the country is the United States of Fredonia, and we are Fredes. Things that have the quality of Fredonia are Fredish, like Fredish drone strikes, and Fredish companies.
