Chapter 1042： patriot

Washington, the political capital symbolizing American independence, became a border city after the Civil War ended, but the stubborn United States government still moved the capital back after the war.

Today, the traces of the war have long since disappeared. Only in the artificially preserved history museum can you still see the wounds left by the war.

Originally, it was to let the people of the United States know their shame and then courageously and work hard to unify the United States. However, with the changes of the times, the nature of these cultural relics has also changed, becoming an important part of the anti-war wave.

There is no way. As a country composed of immigrants from all corners of the world, everyone really does not have a strong understanding of the concept of "unity".

Irish immigrants and English immigrants never urinate in the same gourd, Italian immigrants and French immigrants still continue the hatred, discrimination between whites and people of color...

The bitter consequences of the causes planted by the European world have to be borne by the United States. Excessive ethnic conflicts are intertwined, and internal problems have always plagued this new country.

In fact, the original space-time is the same. Many people in later generations believed that the Americans were very "unscrupulous", but they clearly had a strong national power but had to endure it until after World War II.

As everyone knows, the real United States is far less powerful than they thought. The weak central government, ethnic conflicts, and unlimited power in the states are all problems facing this new country.

The continuous internal friction every day consumes too much energy in this country. From the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, successive US governments have all worked hard to eliminate internal friction.

Eventually, with the passage of time, the mutual understanding of immigrants deepened, cross-ethnic marriages increased, and the differences within the white race were eased, and the country became truly strong.

The self-integration of the original space-time has lasted for hundreds of years, let alone now.

Along with the independence of the South, the central government of the United States was directly swept away, and its control over the states became weaker and weaker.

Immigrating to a country, the people’s sense of belonging to the country is inherently low. Compared with reunifying the South, ordinary people care more about their personal quality of life.

The division is not entirely without benefits. There is also a wave of vested interests. For example, the several food-producing states in the Central Plains do not want the South to come back and grab the market with them.

Also not interested in reunification are the western states. Because it does not involve self-interest, many people are holding on the sidelines to the unification or not.

To put it simply, there is no problem in unifying the South, but they cannot join the army on the battlefield.

This kind of symptom was manifested during the Civil War. Many states with little interest have blatantly resisted the recruitment of the central government.

Of course, the interference of foreign powers is also an important factor. Your own security has been threatened, and no matter how you support it, you must think twice.

Those who really want to reunify the North and the South are in fact the eastern states where the capital consortium gathers. Although the capitalists have sufficient motivation to support reunification, it is impossible to let them go to the battlefield desperately.

In this regard, Jewish capital has set an example for the American bourgeoisie: "They have everything except the country."

Ordinary people do not want to fight, and those who want to fight do not want to go to the battlefield. It can be said that the setback of the road to unity of the United States is inevitable.

In this context, it is not surprising that the anti-war wave has become the mainstream of society. After all, the capitalists who support unification by force are only a very small minority among the entire population.

Regarding all this, as President Grover Cleveland who is keen to promote national reunification, he is "seeing it in the eyes and eager in the heart", but he is powerless.

In fact, Grover Cleveland was not the first president who wanted to reunify the South after the Civil War. Before this, many predecessors have tried, but unfortunately they all ended in tragedy.

In particular, his predecessor coincided with the outbreak of the European War, when European countries had the lowest capacity to interfere in the Americas.

If you want to reunify the South by force, then it was the best opportunity. The European countries are busy pk with the French, and the only thing left is Britain.

In a country alone, it is impossible for the London government to rush to participate in the Civil War. After all, it is the long-term national policy of the British to make Europe before the United States.

Regrettably, there were fierce quarrels within the United States as to whether to initiate unification by force.

From the congressional government to ordinary people, fierce conflicts broke out around this issue.

Many state governments in the United States have publicly stated that they will not send troops to participate in the new Civil War, so that the predecessor who proposed a unified plan will not directly come to Taiwan.

Without waiting for reunification within the United States, the European War would end first. Once the opportunity is missed, it will never be repeated.

The Confederate States in the South are not soft persimmons either. It can be said that the American world is second only to the United States. Although the overall national power gap between the two sides has more than doubled, the feedback on military strength has narrowed this gap infinitely.

If European countries intervene again, these gaps will no longer be gaps, but may become an advantage.

We must know that European powers often warned them on the issue of unifying the South by force. Including the establishment of the European Union, they have not forgotten to send people to remind them to stand by themselves.

If it is delusional to break the stability of the Americas, it is indispensable for a combination of great powers to play more and more. At that time, let's not say that the south will be unified, and even the north will have to be divided again.

For details, please refer to the "Divisional Occupation Plan" proposed by European powers when they interfered in the Civil War.

To put it simply: Britain, France, and Ossi are the leaders of the four European countries to send troops to dismember the United States, and then implement subregional occupation.

Of course, this is just a threat. If you really let the troops go, you will have to think rationally about whether it is worth it.

However, this method of intimidation is still very deterrent for Americans who have never seen the market.

After the predecessor stepped down dingyly, President Grover Cleveland would naturally not make it again.

In order to achieve national reunification, Grover Cleveland decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, namely: to provoke contradictions among the major powers in Europe and create an international foundation for reunification.

The Cuban independence movement broke out in this context.

As the mastermind behind the scenes, Grover Cleveland only smuggled a few batches of arms, allowing Britain and Spain to directly confront each other; by the way, a seed of doubt was planted between Spain and Shinra. It can be said to be very successful.

It is a pity that Spain is in decline after all, which greatly reduces this plan.
