Though my pride may be on the line. I will say, to the countries of the world. That I was wrong.

I was swayed by British greed and believed I would be fighting for freedom. Despite this I was actually fighting for slavery.
I realise now that the confederation is not what at first it seemed, they run from a new law just because they do not like it. I ask the supporters of the confederates to ask themselves. When a country creates rules, such as the abolition of rape and slaughter. Is it truly the right thing to do for half the country to run off to create new lands where they can perform illegal acts?

My eyes where glistened over by British promises and for that I could not see what should have been in front of me the whole time.
With this in mind the Second French Empire agrees to rescind its declaration of war with the true United States. In doing so I hope that Europe will not have to deal with more western affairs.

Due to this act I am also planning on pausing all French involvement with the FFGB. France will begin to talk once again to the UK once it has come to its senses. Be that a month or ten years. France in no way despises the UK but believes new talks will have to be made to truly test the FFGB's friendship. 

I hope, for Frances sake, all disputes dissolve and the FFGB thrives once again.
