Brazil, France shares the support the UK gives to you, I hope that the future is bright in your country and that France may be a part of helping your country become even better.

To the Union, you are stubborn and bold. I can admire that. Yet you also have traits of stupidity and ignorance. You have created violence where it could have been avoided, and for that you will be punished. Lives will be lost, but I assure you for every Frenchmen killed one hundred union soldiers will fall.
The French Empire hereby declares war on the Unites States of America.

- Emperor Napoleon III, France
