I appreciate the offer, I just don't want to give any other nation a chance to say sometime down the line "Hey, bro, remember all that stuff I gave you? It'd be cool if you could help me out with this."

The United States are flattered by Great Britain's kind words and even kinder offers. Unfortunately we cannot accept the 2,000 pounds, or accept so a precious gift as a ship that would better serve the Republic's defense needs both in home waters and across the world. If you seek to pay the United States back, ample reward will be the resumption of the fruitful transatlantic trade that benefits both nations equally well.

--Charles Francis Adams
US Ambassador to Great Britain

Oh, I see how it is. You declare war on me and blockade me for nearly a whole turn and I get some cash. You say a few strong words to France and they get Quebec. Good to know! Joking, just in case the internet makes it seem like I was serious.

Treaty of Peace

A state of war between United States and the Republic of Great Britain, the French Empire, and the Kingdom of Greece has now ended. The three previously mentioned nations are all at peace with the United States, and all four nations will cease any and all hostile actions against each other.

Yeah, a year early but no siege. At least not yet.

Maj. General McClellan

My dear sir,

These past few months have seen hard fighting in the West, and much ground has been gained through Tennessee. There have been sacrifices and losses, but we continue to move forward towards South Carolina and Charleston. Yet so far your army, which is the largest gathering of numbers we have, has remained stationary. The enemy gathers strength and builds defenses with each passing day, negating your advantage more and more. I read your dispatches to the Secretary of War, complaining of fatigued horses. Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Bull Run that fatigue anything? Like my last wire, I cannot state how imperative it is that you take the initiative and meet the enemy in the field of battle at once. DO NOT DELAY IN THIS TASK.

Yours very truly,
Abraham Lincoln

I cant tell you how disgusted I am becoming with these wretched politicians.
-- George B. McClellan in a letter to his wife

Maj. General Henry Halleck

General,

With your success in Tennessee, the President and I have requested your presence in Washington to discuss the future strategy of the war. General Grant will take command of your armies and assume command of all Western operations temporarily. General Sherman will assume command of Grant's army in Chattanooga.

Sincerely,
Edwin M. Stanton
Secretary of War

Brig. General US Grant

My dear Grant,

With McClellan's foot dragging in Virginia, it seems that the President may want a change of commander. McClellan is too afraid of Bobby Lee to even attempt to fight him. If I am chosen, they will find no such delaying on my part. I am to depart for Washington within the next two days to conference with the President and Secretary of War. You are hereby recalled to Memphis to assume command of all Western forces. The assignment comes with a brevet rank to Major General. You are without a doubt the best officer I have in the West, and I have no doubt in your abilities to continue the attack on the rebels. If I do find myself in the chair of commander-in-chief, rest assured you will be

You faithful and humble servant,
Maj. General Henry Halleck

Great job on that war update, Outcast.

And not to put more upon our beloved GM, I need to work out the peace treaties with France, UK, and Greece. Does it take up an order for the peace treaty, even if it's just a plain white peace?

World in Revolution: 1861

Well, I imagine his plate is pretty full at the moment with all of us each wanting to accomplish ten different things, a civil war to administer, and now a national uprising.

The Nexerus said
If the U.S. House of Representatives just passed a motion to annex Canada, it is inconceivable for Canada to NOT confederate early. With that in mind, I'd like to change my top choice for once a slot is open from the Netherlands to the Dominion of Canada. A Canadian player would help shift the roleplay's focus back to North America.
