The True Divided Nation: History of the World

[AstroRangerBeans]

FOREWORD

In this pursuit of knowledge, historians have long debated among themselves over the interpretations of historical events. This knowledge finds itself in an existing manner and the grand enlightenment would have been thrived more but there's more making their event as a fact while events had been interpreted as a fact. In the North American, history would remain important as a tool for them to remind on what had happened to the past but on that case that the ideals of about free are making America, a safer and vanguard of democracy and all social and individual rights while the forebears of the history would had been always preserved, telling their stories on what had the factual historical events would shape the entire world, the United States of America and the Confederate States of America.

No matter how the people would commonly called themselves differently and commonly called "Union" or "Confederacy" but this decade had several massive technological advancements with the arrival of drones, VRs, AI technology, flying cars, self-driving cars, concept tires, aero tires, electric cars, driverless vehicles, automation, monowheel bikes, automated stores, folded smartphones, digital telepathy, holographic technology, and others.

The scope of book shall encompass on how the Dutch had defended the colony, but first the European settlement in North America where the evidence that had created the longer Dutch settlement of New Netherland and I took a month-long research from history archives and news reports regarding on how the important historical events will became a fact.

I must frankly thank to the all who had I been sourced as references and made the complied historical narrative work as well as making their own Wattpad novel.

With the highest of the regards.

That's a Tessa's Best day at Potomac Park
Franklin, MD[3]
January 19, 2018

At the morning, Tessa woke up at her room when her smart home assistant told her that she's going to follow one of her listed schedules that was placed on her calendar on her folded iPhone Deluxe 4.0. Plus[1] and she felt that she woke up after both of her hands was raised and began to emerge out from her bed but she needs to follow her healthy daily routine by performing stretching up on her arms and head as well as her body. She said to herself that "I wish that I would see Hardin at the park to see updates but I know that we're going to have jogging together farther away from the Confederate border." (thinking of herself hard). Wishing that Tessa could see Hardin at the West Potomac Park, facing the Potomac river and the Confederate border itself.

Tessa, knowing that she needs to have breakfast first by taking her bath and when she finishes, she dressed up in an average outsider and began to went down into the kitchen room and also began to chat with Hardin through her SozialNet chat[2], seeing one of her friend's posts online and when she clicks the notifications and saw Noah had negatively commented on her response that he had replied at 2 am in the dawn and he said that "Tessa, you're pissed! HAHAHAHA!" and she began to strike back on Noah's posts by commenting that "Noah, you're ugly in terms of your face but is it your response that is funny? No!", her behavior had been changed to negative and she felt that her behavior was ruined and blown by Noah's negative comment on her post that she had posted yesterday about her video that she made. Her mood becomes moderately negative but she had to move on and began to finish her breakfast and she finishes eating bagel, volkorenbroed, and brötchen and started to drink her coffee and starts to fix their positions in a proper way to keep herself beautiful not to get herself ugly.

When she approaches into the door, she had to wave goodbye to her mom, named Carol and walks into the pavement on the right side of the road, reaching her favorite bike an cyclotron design and starts long travel into West Potomac Park. Upon passing the 21st ST NW, she saw the posted slogans and leaflets on every posts on what she had seen and the slogans are calling the secretary of Finance and Economic Strategy, Harvey Weinstein to resign over both sexual crimes and budget scam allegations that had been rocked the nation and she saw most of people are doing cycling and jogging along the streets and cycling lanes.

Upon arriving at the West Potomac Park, she saw the posters and cardboards were the participants of Blue Vest[4] protesters had took to the streets after the shocking revelation of one of budgets were reportedly abused by Weinstein himself while most of women protesters who are against Weinstein are now joining with the protesters of Blue Vest movement and called on of his close associates to resign.

When she saw Hardin, he had asked her on what she's doing right now and she began to mingle together again as Tessa looks on Hardin's eyes and starts to face forward into the Potomac river where the Arlington had been sealed off with border walls and reinforced fences as well as watchtowers were the guards and CSB units had monitored the Potomac river while speedboats were deployed to watch and caught anyone who's escaping the under bondage of hybrid regime.

Maybe Li Zicheng would have been killed or Qing would splinter apart due to succession crisis or infighting among the sucessors which would allow the Shun to take the entire Northern China.

CHAPTER I:

THE EXAMINATION OF EVIDENCE ABOUT THE
EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT IN THE 17TH CENTURY

According to historical textbooks and sources as well as articles from the internet, there was an evidence speculating about the accounts or records on how the European colonization, exploration, and settlement of the both nations had begun but according to official accounts, the earliest possible of European settlement had recorded back to the late 15th century at the time of the Early Exploration Period where the Genoese explorer who had served under the Spanish crown had made a landfall on the uncharted islands where the today's Virgin Islands was. According to historical records, articles from the internet, and accounts from crews of Columbus expedition that stated that the first evidence of discovered island what is believed to be New World.

Due to conclusion of Treaty of Tordesillas on 7th of June, 1494 in order to resolve conflict claims between the two Iberian powers (Portugal and Spain) in which the newly-discovered lands were discovered by Columbus and other late 15th century voyagers who had voyaged the Caribbean and South America are aimed to limit by meridian degrees at 46 degrees and 52 west on that line that had allowed unlimited exploration and colonization based on the boundary lines. After the exploring the western part of Hispaniola, he found gold deposits which is beneficial to economy and reminded him of the lands that was resembled into Iberian landscape but following his return, he established the settlement of La Isabela in what is now Puerto Plata on Jan. 1494, while he sent Alonso de Ojeda to search for gold in the region. The establishment of the settlement of La Isabela is marked as the first European settlement in the United States but by years later, Santo Domingo was established as a city in 1496, Western Europe's first permanent settlement in the New World but considered as a first permanent European settlement in the United States but only the Antillea.

La Isabela

Santo Domingo

On the continental side, the Spanish had made their evidence of first settlement in the Confederate States as the Spaniards had expanded their colonial power in the continental North America. José de Angulo had arrived on what is now the state of Durango during the expedition and although Hernán Cortés conquered the Aztecs rather quickly, a gradual process was needed for Spain to subjugate the inhabitants of Tamaulipas in the 16th and 17th centuries. The first permanent Spanish settlement in the area was Tampico in 1554. Further settlement was done by Franciscan missionaries; widespread cattle and sheep ranching by the Spanish bolstered the area's economy while forcing native populations from their original lands and in Florida, there were series of evidence on what was the confirmed settlement is St. Augustine as the state capital of the state itself was established as the Spaniards give chance to control the region after the exploration on which the state named from Spanish Pascua florida, literally "flowering Easter", a Spanish name for Palm Sunday, because the peninsula was discovered on that day by Spanish explorer Ponce de León.

For the United States side, the first European explorer known to have explored the Atlantic shoreline of the Northeast since the Norse was Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524. His ship La Dauphine explored the coast from what is now known as Florida to New Brunswick. Henry Hudson explored the area of present-day New York in 1609 and claimed it for the Netherlands. His journey stimulated Dutch interest, and the area became known as New Netherland[1]. In 1625, the city of New Amsterdam[2] was designated as the capital of the province. While on the England's side, the Pilgrims were settled from England, who landed in present-day Massachusetts in 1620. The Pilgrims arrived by Mayflower ship and founded Plymouth Colony to escape the religious persecution. In the next ten years, a larger group of Puritans settled the north of Plymouth Colony in Boston to form Massachusetts Bay Colony which is now Massachusetts. Connecticut and Providence Plantations was established by colonists as the England had gradually expanded into the inland. Two cities were founded by Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson who were banished from Massachusetts.

New England played a prominent and important role in early American education. Starting in the 17th century, the larger towns in New England had opened grammar schools, the forerunner of modern high school. Boston Latin School was the first public school in the English colonies were established in 1635 and in 1636, Harvard College was founded by the colonial legislature of Massachusetts and is the oldest institution of higher learning in the United States.

In New Netherland, the Dutch had expanded through the Hudson River and quickly established the colonies and began to organize the colony into two staats, there are three staats are New Amsterdam and Beverwijck while the Dutch colonel Florens van Hemmink had infamously created a tactics or strategy on how to predict an impending attack on colonies from foreign powers by implementing heavy settlement, he was the soldier under a unit division during the First Anglo-Dutch War but luckily, he was survived by moderate injuries and promoted by colonial governor Stuvyesant to study and plan on limiting their foreign settlement on desired claims and he famously made his quotes about the colony, "The fact that was the our land itself must have quickly expanded into the western part of the river mouth that the river been an accessible to the sea and that will limit any expansion to these rivers itself." his quotes became used as the George Crook told of remaking van Hemmink quotes also referred to Kentucky Campaign during the infamous Second Confederate-American War or War of Ohio River.

For the Confederate side, the English had started to explore New Wold. In 1585 an expedition was organized by Walter Raleigh established first English settlement in the New World, on Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The colony itself had failed to prosper forward however, the colonists were retrieved the following year by English supply ships. In 1587, Raleigh again sent out of a group of colonists to Roanoke, whether they find the colonists whereabouts. From this colony, the first recorded births in North America, a child named Virginia Dare was reported. That group of colonists were disappeared and is known as the "Lost Colony" in which many people had created their theories on how the lost colony itself suffered unknown fate or fled to tribes. Virginia Dare made the modern legacy that she symbolizes innocence and purity for many Confederates, some honored her as a symbol for women's suffrage.

While on the side of the United States, the settlement of Chesapeake Bay was driven to by a desire to obtain or extract precious or rich metal resources including gold and the colonial expansion of English made Delmarva Peninsula colonized and the colony itself was populated by the indentured servants from overpopulated European areas. On the side of the Confederacy, the plantations were made by wealthy aristocrats from England which had made tobacco and cotton as the main crops while the slave trade which had imported slaves from Caribbean colonies and Africa on what was the evidence claims that the slaves were worked on large sugar and rice plantations.

The boom of Southern colonies (Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia) experienced the growth despite the population remains stagnant and considered rural frontier land as the economy had to relied on agriculture and plantations due to main crops are accepted and purchased by English buyers. Rice and indigo were also grown in the area and exported to Europe. Charleston became booming trade town for the southern colonies. The abundance of pine trees in the area provided raw materials for shipyards to develop, and the harbor provided a safe port for English bringing in imported goods. The colonists had exported tobacco, cotton, and textiles and imported tea, sugar, and slaves.

The main important evidence about the causes of cultural rift between the North and South which had proved that the Confederate States had declared independence in the mid-19th century is the economies of both North and the South began to diverge, especially in the coastal areas. The Southern emphasis on export production contrasted with the Northern emphasis on food production and in that fact that the First, Second, and Third Great Awakening that had occurred in the South made the treatment had proven that creates theological rifts on Christianity in the pre-1860s United States and had caused the Southern War of Independence.

As a fan of the map thread this is based on, I am very interested in how this will go.

What are the odds of Charles De Gualle existing at the same time with a pod hundreds of years before his birth?

Or is he completely unrelated and just happens to share a name?
