1861: Slaves, Loans and Gun Boats, OOC, many avilable

[Arana]

Aren't you in debt?

That's how I'll pay them off.
In turn, ill abolish slavery in 3 or 4 states

You'll pay off your debt by giving other people money???

[Pimps Inc]

Also, the part im invading is the Confederacy, which is pro-slave.
Im doing them a favor by liberating them under Mexican law.

Britain gets cotton from the Confederacy, though

There's more to the Confederacy than just Texas and such.
I have cotton,too,yet no slaves.

I have a debt to the UK and France.

You'll pay them off by having them fight for you?

[Pimps Inc]

I will fight.
They simply got to stay off the war and ill take it back.There's gold in California, you know.Thats how Ill pay.

British and French textile industries DEPEND on cotton produced in the South, and the Conferacy is producing 75% of the world's cotton at thus point

Nevermind then, disreguard my app. I had a 5 paragraph history written up for how and why Canada was indepenent and why they bought alaska. That is why it is Alternate freakin' history! It does not have to be the same as real life!

No, but it has to make sense.

And it will.

Right... did you notice the fact that the US has only 13 years prior crippled you in a war, and is significantly stronger than you?

[Arana]

No, but it has to make sense.

And it will.

Canada had neither the desire to be independent, nor the capability of becoming independent.

Texas is just one of those states.
The rest will stay there until the Union wins......or loses.
If I take the Confederacy, Britain will still get the cotton.

[Australian Antarctica]

Both easily solved.

Significantly, my ass.
Either way, I have a plan.
I was caught in a civil war when HE invaded me.
I'll just return the favor.

[Arana]

No, not really. Lacking the ability and motivation to do something generally means it won't be done, because, you know, not only do you not want to do it, but you couldn't do it if you did.

Again, wait for the history to be finished. Either later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Any wars in Europe?
I cant remember.

[The Orson Empire]

Any wars in Europe?
I cant remember.

There was the Crimean War, which ended in 1856.

You're not going to succeed, dude.

Alright then. I would like to see a good excuse on how Canada rose up against the most powerful nation in the world, United Kingdom, then bought land from another powerful nation.

[New Jordslag]

Any wars in Europe?
I cant remember.

Well, in the Balkans, a war is getting close to breaking out. It'll be Rumania and it's allies vs. Serbia Vs. The Ottomans and their allies. A three way war.

For now, though, Rumania wants to be buds with people and gain colonies.

Yes, but there is no doubt it will enrage some people in Europe, considering that they'll have no idea whether or not what will happen to the cotton, even if you promise to sell it. Also, this is likely to bring you in war with the United States, or at least lead to war with the US after the Civil War. Don't expect to be welcomed by the local populace, either. Also, this is assuming you do manage to capture the cotton producing states (namely Texas, which I assume is what your aiming for, as well as a few other states lost in the Mexican-American War). I can't really speak for Britain, but I doubt they're just going to sit around and let you invade Texas; the Confederacy could threaten to burn the cotton fields or something. Europe would survive on surplus of cotton before the war, but sooner or later they are going to feel the effects of it.

That part I may scrap, let me work some things out. Also, your argument is invalid. After the revolution, Britain was considered weak for being defeated by a few 'farmers with pitchforks'.

It was considered weak. It was still the most powerful nation on Earth, with Spain, the Netherlands, and France being its only competition. Since then, the Netherlands and Spain have fallen in strength, leaving the UK and France at the top.

Right.
I still produce cotton, though how much can a country as Britain need.
Plus,if I dont do this then the UK dont get paid.

I beat the French, I can beat you.

And who says I was not supported by the French, unless they have a problem with it.
