Would Max even grant Confederate fugitives asylum? By the way, what was Maximilian’s stance on slavery?
Not sure of Max in particular, but Mexico had abolished slavery by this point if I'm remembering properly.Would Max even grant Confederate fugitives asylum? By the way, what was Maximilian’s stance on slavery?
Thank you!Another Glorious timeline incoming, I am sure.

He did allow Confederates to migrate to Mexico on the condition that they were not allowed to bring slaves with them. Around 6000 migrated otl despite the war. If there is stability I can see around ~50,000 or so Confederates immigrating. Mexico would probably absorb the immigrants who went to Brazil otl due to being closer.Not sure of Max in particular, but Mexico had abolished slavery by this point if I'm remembering properly.
Now I honestly going to be that much of an effect on Europe for a couple decades, France will probably still lose the Franco-Prussian war, which will have some interesting ramifications for Maxico. I do predict stronger ties with Austria, maybe higher immigration between the two.
Central and South America are going to be interesting, I wonder what the Empire of Brazil will be up to.
Well someone had to do it.Sarthaka when he gets tired of people saying the Second Mexican Empire can't survive:
Indeed they are a rarity.You can never have enough Second Mexican Empire timelines. Great work, consider me subscribed!
Thanks!This looks great! Watched and can’t wait for the next instalment.
Well in the future. The man's barely 10 in 1864.If Maximilian gets his hands on Jose Limantour he's all set. "El Mago de los Numeros" managed to balance the country's budget during his time
Well Iglesias in particular has little to dear being so far away from the front lines.The Mexican republicans fear the Mexican Habsburg Emperor big time now.
If Maximilian can stabilize Mexico and balance its budget, he will have done two genuine miracles.If Maximilian gets his hands on Jose Limantour he's all set. "El Mago de los Numeros" managed to balance the country's budget during his time
I wonder if having a more stable and prosperous Mexico will have any effects on TTL's Southern states. Is it possible that TTL's Great Migration has some blacks migrating into Mexico instead of going north?He did allow Confederates to migrate to Mexico on the condition that they were not allowed to bring slaves with them.

It would be easier for most blacks to go north but a few may try to go to Mexico.If Maximilian can stabilize Mexico and balance its budget, he will have done two genuine miracles.

Thanks!Another Sarthaka timeline, another immediate watch. Let’s see how this ride goes.
