Chapter 391： Injustice

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.

"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 came here, I knew it was a mess. It was just that I felt I could handle it and reunite the country.

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

Safar comforted: "Before that, this possibility might have been possible, but since the moment you submitted your resignation, this possibility no longer exists.

The worst result was nothing more than the signing of an amnesty by the next president. The Republican Party will not watch us go in. This is the rule of the game. "

The president of the United States has the right to amnesty. Except for being impeached, the president can grant amnesty to anyone, including the former president, without the permission of any agency.

In accordance with the rules of the political game, the president can resign early in exchange for the next president's amnesty.

"Amnesty" means that all the previous crimes have been cancelled and he resigned early, and impeachment is naturally impossible to talk about.

Before the armistice treaty is signed, Lincoln needs to be carried back, and Congress will certainly 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 have suffered a great deal of vitality. In a short time, there is no way to compete with the Republicans.

Most of the next president will still come from the Republican Party. No party wants his president to be convicted and imprisoned to "make history", and the Republican Party will naturally try to keep Lincoln.

Even if the Democrats win the election, they will be pardoned for political reasons.

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

Under normal circumstances, there is no prosecution. "Poker Cabinet" President Harding, corrupt President Grant, "Watergate Incident" President Nixon, etc., all landed safely.

Now some people are clamoring to sue, in fact, just because of the need for election propaganda. Radicals are just being used, and politicians will not break the rules of the game.

Even if Lincoln's resignation does not mean that the Lincoln government can leave, and wait until the transfer of power before leaving.

This is also the end of his term, otherwise the president resigns and the vice president is replaced. Still on the stage, the amnesty order came out long ago.

...

Franz was not interested in the internal struggle for rights in the United States. He was still in the joy of American division and couldn't help himself.

Once divided, a second may occur. From the moment the federal government acknowledged the independence of the South, it meant that Lincoln's patch had no effect.

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

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

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

We must know that this civil war, if it were not for the southern government to start, whether the federal government could organize an army is unknown.

In this era, the states of the United States have too much power, and they have the capabilities of the federal government. For example: Federal troops are prohibited from entering the state.

Without the cooperation of the states, the Washington government will not be able to mobilize domestic troops, let alone organize them.

Because of the civil war, the prestige of the federal government has greatly diminished, and the binding force 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 alliance, then the Confederate government has to go one step further, and the rights of each of the states are greater than the states of the new Holy Roman Empire.

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