Now, this is my first TL, so please be kind. I know it is not very likely, however, I did my research, and it is a possibility that the POD would work. The POD is that Lord Byron did not die in Missolonghi, and lead Greece to inderpendence. He then left for the United States, with 40 Suliots, something he had contemplated in at least three letters. In the South, he marries the daughter of a rice planter from Charleston, and works for abolitionism. However, when the South secedes, he goes to London to wrangle on the Confederacys behalf.

A Short History of the Confederate States of AmericaOn the 20th of December, 1860, the state of South Carolina seceded from the United States of America*. This was followed by the secession of Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia, Texas and Tennessee. On the 4th of February, a Convention was held in Montgomery, Alabama, and on the 10th the Constitution of the Confederate States of America was ratified by delegates. This document was remarkably similar to the United States’; however, it incorporated a bill of rights (including the right to own slaves).
On the next day, the cabinet for this new nation was announced. William Yancy of Alabama was the President, Robert Rhett of South Carolina as the Vice-President, Robert Toombs of Georgia as Secretary of State, Judah P. Benjamin of Louisiana as Treasurer, Thomas Bragg of North Carolina as Attorney-General, Jefferson Davis of Mississippi as Secretary of War,
Robert Barnwell of South Carolina as Secretary of the Navy and Howell Cobb of Georgia as the Postmaster-General. The Capital was moved from the interim city of Montgomery to Atlanta, centre of the South’s four most vital railroads.
The Confederacy was divided into five theatres, under the overall command of Robert Edward Lee. These were:
Virginia and Kentucky (under Braxton Bragg)
Tennessee (under James Longstreet)
The Carolinas, Georgia, Florida and Georgia (under Joseph Johnston)
Mississippi, Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas (under James Stuart)
Texas, Arizona, Indian Territory (Wade Hampton)
In the first year of the War of Northern Aggression, around 100 000 men volunteered. Forty thousand went to the Army of Virginia and Kentucky, fifteen thousand to Tennessee, 15 thousand to the Army of the Carolinas, twenty-five thousand to the Army of the Mississippi, and fifteen thousand to the Army of the West. The universal strategy for the Confederate Army was to fight a holding action until the French and British joined the war, or retreat to the Appalachians and fight a holding war, grounding down the Union Forces.
For the essential task of gaining recognition, as well as buying arms and selling cotton, two delegations were despatched to London and Paris. Lord Noel Byron, the famous poem who was an abolitionist before the war who was sent due to his connections with the British Establishment, and Ambrose Mann were sent to London, while Pierre Rost and Judah P. Benjamin, both from Louisiana, were sent to negotiate with Napoleon III.
In this, they were extraordinarily successful. Lord Byron secured the secret assurance from Jefferson Davis for gradual emancipation, sealing the diplomatic deal, while Benjamin assured Napoleon that he could have a free hand in Mexico, which Napoleon had recently landed troops in. Byron secured the Royal Navy to break the blockade, while Benjamin gained a French Expeditionary Force.
At the Second Battle of Manassas, in which Bragg marched against Washington, the French Foreign Legion fought an excellent battle, while the Royal Navy shelled Washington and the battlefield. In two months, the Confederacy arrived at Washington, and thereafter launched a horrific siege.
In the middle of the war, the Treasury introduced notes, which showed a variety of scenes dear to the Confederate heart, showing slaves in the field, mansions, the Battle of Sharpsburg, Davis, and the greatest generals of the war. Of the 450 000 men at the Siege of Washington, only half came out alive. The entire military and government apparatus fled to Philadelphia, with the President stubbornly staying in the city. The United Kingdom marched at will in New England and the West Coast, while Arizona and New Mexico were held by France, who had installed the liberal Emperor Maximilian upon the throne of Mexico.
The US 1864 elections were postponed for the duration of the war, due to massive unrest and support for the Democrats. On the 4th of July, 1865, a massive offensive was launched against Washington. Almost every house in the District of Columbia was destroyed in a house by house struggle. Resistance was especially strong in the black slum areas, with escaped
slaves fighting former masters. The Carolina Legion, under Hector Noel, were the first troops to reach the Capitol building, its rotunda collapsed by hundreds of shells. On the 12th of August, General Ulysesses S. Grant surrenderedto Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson in the Supreme Court.
Lincoln was captured by French forces while crossing the Potomac with his Negro mistress, having left Mary Todd in Washington. He was placed into the custody of the Confederate government, who placed him in Richmond. The last battle of the war was fought by a force intending to rescue him.
The last year of the war was fought mainly in Pennslyvania, where guerillas burnt wagons, cut up telegraphs, and burnt bridges. Tecumsah Sherman fought a genocidal campaign against the Confederacy in Tennessee, slaughtering civilians and becoming the most hated man in the history of the Confederacy. It was not until the 1880's that the last of his
terrorists were routed. Acting President William H. Seward surrendered to the Allied delegation on the 25th of December, 1866. Over 1 500 000 men died in the War of Northern Aggression, making it the bloodiest war in history up to the point. A peace conference was to be held in Cuba on the 1st of January, 1868.
The Havana Accords
The four powers assembled at Havana on the 1st of January all had specific goals in mind. France needed recognition for the Mexican Empire, Britain needed a connection between the Confederacy and British Columbia, the Confederacy demanded West Virginia, New Mexico, Arizona, and the southern third of California. It was also desirous of an independence for the Mormons, and a free city in Manhatten. The United States sought to hold onto as much land as possible.
These ambitions were all stark for the United States. It would mean a loss of almost half of its territories. However, it was in no position to negotiate, and merely tried to trade off some things for others. After three months of backroom dealing, the new map of North America was drawn. Deseret, from Utah to the Pacific Coast, and Mannhatten, occupied for four years by the United Kingdom, became a plutocracy under Vanderbilt and Rockerfeller,
recognising the right of a Confederate Citizen to bring slaves into its borders.
The state of Oregon and the Washinton Territory were incorporated to British Columbia, while the northern half of Maine joined New Brunswick. Maximilian gained total diplomatic recognition, while France recieved a few Carribean islands from Britain, as well as the Florida Keys.
The Confederate States of America gained all the area south of the Parallel 36°30′ North, as well as a whole Virginia. After much disscussion, Kentucky and Missouri stayed within the union, due the the Confederacys fear of Unionist uprisings. It also obtained indemnities from the United States, covering the War Debt. The Union was shattered, with the Pacific Coast lost, and the new nation of Manhatten took away more than a million people.
The most delicate issue came with the captured Union generals. Many wardens of prisons was executed for crimes against the Confederacy. Sherman was subject to a live execution in Atlanta. Lincoln was the most troublesome captive. If the Confederacy executed him, then they could expect a hatred from Northerners forever. Therefore, they stripped from the the right to hold public office.
Two years later, he was assasinated in Boston by a radical abolitionist, who blamed him for losing the war. The culprit was allowed to leave custody after posting bail. No trial was recorded.
Reconstruction
However bad the Norths positon was, it still had vital industry and infrastucture in place. although the Deep South had been barely touched, it either did not have the infrastructure in place, or it had been destroyed.
Thanks to the breaking of the blockade early on, there was no glut in the world cotton market, however, without New England mills, cotton had
larger export costs, although the amount of factories set up for uniforms in England helped to keep the money rolling in.
The Confederate planters lived like kings, smoking with hundred dollar bills, drinking champagne by the tubful, and holding tremendous balls in their enormous plantations. Many moved to Northern Mexico, where Maximilian encourged immigration, or moved out west to become cattle barons. It was the rennaisance of the Confederacy.
Robert E. Lee was elected on the Whig ticket with Judah P. Benjamin as his running mate, and they succeded in taking the states of North Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana, Arkansas, Texas, Tennesee, and Florida. In the other states, the Democrat Party and the states Rights Party held a narrow majority, except in South Carolina, where the States Rights Party gained
80% of the vote. However the States Rights Party had limited appeal, and its voters drifted to the Golden Circle Party in all states except South Carolina, where they usually managed 15% of the vote.
Lee died in 1871, which created a minor constitutional crisis, as Judah P. Benjamin was not born in the Confederacy. He was President for 18 days, before he resigned form the post.
Of the three main parties in Congress (the Whigs, who catered to the small farmers, the Democrats, who catered to the Urban elite, and the Golden Circle Party, representing large planters interests), the Whigs and Golden Circle Party supported expansion into Latin America. To that end, the Confederacy authrized the deployment of troops into Mexico, to conquer Central America with Mexican and French troops. In exchange for the Northern half of Mexico, the Confederacy would provide troops to
conquer and hold Central America.
By 1870, the Confedercy consisted of 14 States, with three joining from the original 11. Colorado, in Confederate California and New Mexico and Arizona, Paraiso, in Confederate Mexico, and Sequoyah, in the largely autonomous Indian Territory.
Mexico was a liberal, largely democratic constitutional Monarchy. A secure succession was in place, with the grandson of Agustin, Emperor of Mexico, the heir. It was powerful, with the French Foreign Legion at its disposal, and a large standing army. It was fiercely Roman Catholic, though in the last five years, thousands of Confederate citizens had established plantaions
Over 6% of its land, and 14% of its capital, was owned by Confederates. The present project of the Confederacys was to build a railroad from the recently Mexican Panama through to Richmond, with a second line going to Ottawa. It would be financed with French, Confederate, and British capital, with the Mexican government contributing significant amounts. The Trans-Americana
Railroad Company was a facet of the Carolina Shipping Company, which was owned by numerous large planters from Louisiana and South Carolina.
In 1869, Salvador de Itubide, adopted son of Maximilian I, married Leopoldina of Brazil, and became heir to the throne of the Empire of Brazil, succeding Dom Pedro II in 1893, already in his sixties. The two empires of Latin America gradually became client states of the Confederacy, although they still retained ties to France.
A major international incident occured in August 1868, when France invaded Spain, worried about the likely hood of a German Monarch. The Confederacy, honouring its Alliance with the French, marched on Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Santo Dominigo. The Phillipines were taken by a Confederate Expreditionary Corps, leading to over one hundred years of American Domination.
When Madrid fell, Napoleon III installed the Prince Imperiale as King, envisioning a dual Catholic Monarchy. Most Spaniards,rejoiced, seeing that that Frances wealth would pour into Spain. In June, 1870, Prussia, in response to Frances Imperialism,attacked France.
The Confederacy assisted the French fleet in blockading the German coastline. However, France could not hold back the tide of Germany. In January, 1872, after a string of defeats, France broke into civil war. Britain swiftly ordered the Germans to halt, with both the republican and Imperial forces negotiating seperate yet similar peaces. For the first six months, it was a nearly equal battle. Western and Southern France was controlled by the Emperor, while the rebels held the major industrial cities. The balance was tipped, however, when the French overseas forces arrived to support the Emperor. It took three years,and a huge amount of men and money, but France was once again a united Empire.
The Empire of Germany was declared a few weeks after the defeat of France, at a parade at the Brandenburg Gate.
After the four years of war in France, the Confederacy was as strong as ever. Having purchased Alaska from Russia, and New Caledonia from France, the hegemony of the Americas was beginning. Mexico controlled Central America, Brazil controlled northen South America, and Argenta, an Empire under a French Duke, comprising of Argentina and Chile. These three states had their buisnesses owned by Confederates, and three transcontinental railroads had been built, the Buenos Aires to Richmond, the Richmond to Ontario,and the Atlanta to Ri de Janeiro.
On the 14th of August, 1878, the King of Hawaii signed papers declaring his nation part of the Confederacy. This was largely an improvement for Hawaii, as it meant that Hawaii recieved education, money, a cheap labour source from the Phillipines and Latin America, and protection from more exploitive powers. This started an enormous amount of colonialism in the Pacific, with 90% of the islands in the largest ocean in the world Confederate by the turn of the century.
On the 1st of January, 1880, President George Patton of the Whig Party, along with Lord Hector Noel Byron of the Golden Circle, and Jefferson Davis of the Democrats, signed the Issues of Emancipation. This was met with enthusiasm on the part of slaves, and anger on the part of the wealthy. However, every freed slave was now tied to his owner in an indentured servitude, in which they gained a trinket wage for all the hardships they endured as slaves. There were frequent race riots in all cities, putting
Latinos against Blacks.
The Second War of Northern Aggression broke out in November, 1885. The Confederacy had long sought to destroy Haiti, sight of the only successful slave revolt in history. From Dominigo in the West Indies Territories, Confederate troops massed for a final assault on Haiti. By Christmas, it was expected that Haiti would be completely subdued. A massive assault broke out upon Haiti. The Confederate Marines marched into Port-Au-Prince almost unopposed, and Confederate ground forces reached there before the end of the month. On Christmas Day, Haiti was officialy incorporated into Louisiana. However, the troubles of Haiti were far from over. Every single Haitian was divided among 2000 Louisianans, and they fought viciously against it. Thousands were slaughtered every year, and it was almost totally ruled in absentee.
The invasion of Haiti was the last straw for the Revanchist United States, who issued a formal declaration of war in March. A war from sea to sea ensued.
