With the recent civil war in America and our current holdings on in north America I Alexander II king of the Russia's must say to president Lincoln that I admire his attempts to put down the rebellious southern states and believe that they are taking steps forward to ensure the unity of the north American continent preventing it from becoming another Europe filled with various states all squabbling over the land not unlike our current position over the atlantic. But now to the affairs of my European brothers since the signing of the treaty of Paris (1856) while we wish to make amends to both Britain and France (but still believing the war was in defense of our Christian citizens in the middle east) I believe it has been a great dishonor to Russia and her people that the Britains and the French have required our great country to demilitarized the black sea viewing any and all military troops and naval ships located in that area needed in the defense of our citizens from the likes of the Beliggerents in the Ottoman Empire.
