Chapter 53, Patriots
Washington, the political capital that symbolized American independence, became a border city after the end of the Civil War, but the stubborn United States government still moved the capital back after the war.
To this day, the traces left by war have long disappeared. Only in the history museums that have been preserved by man-made, can we see the trauma left by war.
Originally, it was to make the people of the United States know their shame before they can be brave, work hard to strengthen, and work hard to unify America. However, with the changes of the times, the nature of these cultural relics has also changed and has become an important part of the anti-war wave.
There is no way. As a country composed of immigrants from all over the world, everyone really does not have a strong understanding of the concept of "unification".
Irish immigrants and English immigrants will never urinate in a gourd, Italian immigrants and French immigrants continue hatred, discrimination between whites and people of color...
The causes and consequences of the European world have to be borne by the United States. Too many ethnic contradictions are intertwined, and internal problems have always plagued this new country.
In fact, the same is true for the original time and space. Many people in later generations believed that Americans were very "luxury". They clearly had strong national strength but endured it until after World War II.
Little do they know that the real United States is far less powerful than they imagined. The weak central government, ethnic conflicts and unlimited powers of the states are all problems faced by this new country.
The continuous internal friction every day consumed too much energy in this country. From the 19th century to the early 20th century, successive US governments have been working hard to eliminate internal friction.
Finally, as time went on, the country became truly stronger after the mutual understanding between immigrants deepened, the cross-ethnic marriage increased, and the differences within the white race were alleviated.
The self-integration of original time and space has lasted for hundreds of years, not to mention now.
With the independence of the South, the face of the central government of the United States was directly disgraced and its control over the states became increasingly weak.
When immigrating to a country, people have a low sense of belonging to the country. Compared to reunifying the south, ordinary people care more about their personal quality of life.
The division is not entirely unhealthy. There is also a wave of vested interests, such as: several grain-producing states in the central plains, who do not want the South to come back to compete with them for the market.
The western states are also uninterested in unification. Because they do not involve their own interests, many people have a cold-eyed attitude towards unification or not.
Simply put, there is no problem in unifying the south, but it is not enough to ask them to join the army and go to the battlefield.
This sign was reflected during the Civil War. Many states with little interest were openly boycotted the recruitment of the central government.
Of course, the interference of the great powers is also an important factor. Their own security is threatened. No matter how much they support, they must think twice before acting.
What really hopes for the reunification of the north and the south is actually the eastern states with large groups of capital consortiums. Although capitalists have enough motivation to support unification, it is impossible to let them go to the battlefield to fight desperately.
In this regard, Jewish capital set an example for the American bourgeoisie: "They have everything except the state."
Ordinary people do not want to fight, and those who want to fight are unwilling to go to the battlefield. It can be said that setbacks in the United States will be caused.
In this context, it is not surprising that the anti-war wave has become the mainstream of society. After all, there are only a very small number of capitalists who support the unity of force among all citizens.
As President Grover Cleveland, who is keen to promote national reunification, is "seeing it in his eyes and anxious in his heart", but he is powerless to do anything.
In fact, Grover Cleveland was not the first president to reunify the South after the Civil War. Before that, many of his predecessors had tried it, but unfortunately they all ended in tragedy.
His predecessor, in particular, happened to catch up with the outbreak of the European War, which was the period when European countries had the lowest ability to interfere in the Americas.
If we wanted to unify the south by force, it would be the best opportunity at that time. All countries in the continent were busy pkating with the French, and only one Britain was left behind.
In a single country, the London government would not be able to come to participate in the Civil War with a head start. After all, Europe first and the United States was the long-term national policy of the British.
Unfortunately, when it comes to launching military unification, there was a fierce quarrel within the United Zhong.
From the Congressional government to the ordinary people, fierce conflicts broke out around this issue.
Many state governments in UZhong have publicly stated that they will not send troops to participate in the new Civil War, which will make the predecessors who proposed a unified plan unable to come to Taiwan.
Before the unification is reached within the United Nations, the European War will end first. Once the opportunity is missed, it will not come again.
The Confederate countries in the South are not soft persimmons, and can be said to be the second only to the United States in the American world. Although the gap between the two sides' comprehensive national strength is more than twice, the feedback from the feedback is that this gap has been infinitely narrowed.
If European countries intervene again, these gaps will no longer be gaps, but may become an advantage.
You should know that when it comes to unifying the south by force, European powers often warn them. Even after the establishment of the Continental Union, they did not forget to send people to remind them to be content with their own self-righteousness.
If you want to break the stability of America, a joint and mixed battle between the great powers is inevitable. Not to mention unifying the south, even the north will be divided again.
For details, please refer to the "zoning occupation plan" proposed by the European powers during the Civil War.
Simply put, it means that Britain, France, Olympiad and Western countries lead the leadership of joining European countries to send troops to dismember the United States and then implement regional occupation.
Of course, this is just a kind of intimidation. If you really want to send troops, you must think rationally whether it is worth it.
However, this method of intimidation is still very deterrent to Americans who have never seen it on the market.
The ex stepped down in shame, so President Grover Cleveland naturally would not do it again.
In order to achieve national unity, Grover Cleveland decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, which is to provoke conflicts among major European powers and create an international foundation for unification.
The Cuban independence movement broke out in this context.
As the mastermind behind the scenes, Grover Cleveland just smuggled several 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 that it was very successful.
Unfortunately, Spain has declined after all, which has greatly reduced this plan.
