The War Between the States

In the year several southern states seceded from the United States of America. The American government in the act of changing over administrations declared it a rebellion.

Though it was documented that the southern states seceded because the president elect

was promoting an abolishment to slavery it is now suspected that british agents planted within the American government had been encouraging both sides to take a stand.

As hostilities broke out amongst the states the Great British Empire decided it was prime time to retake their colonies from the Americans while they were fighting themselves. Using the Trent Affair as an excuse to strengthen it's forces in Canada and the Atlantic. After several weeks of tension between the Union and the Empire the Lincoln administration released the envoys. But when no formal apology was given the Empire declared war on the Union. The envoys, failing to receive diplomatic recognition for the Confederacy, were sent back. A week later it was released that the Empire had also declared war on the Confederacy.

Unsure of which side side the British would attack first the confederates started short on technology wavered. The confederate government panicking begged the Union to provide for their safety promising to reunite the U.S.A.

The Union mechanics devised a way to fortify the south and warn the country of British invaders. They positioned huge boilers in different strategic positions with guard houses built around it. If attacked the steam tower could quickly cover the steam flow putting a break in the steam rising from the stack. any tower seeing the break would do the same until an army garrison was notified. The boiler was used to power appliances for the soldiers and a lamp incase of a night attack.

Unfortunately the British Empire attacked early on the morning of October 3 of 1862 when a cloud bank rolled in obscuring the plumes of steam from the towers situated along the Mississippi river. A journal entry from a soldier garrisoned at the fort at little rock recalls: "On the 4th of october At 12 o'clock the cloudsfinally departed. Celebration did not last long as a lieutenant reported that all but three towers were showing smoke on the Miss until Memphis." Certainly without the fort which had been a last minuet installation, the U.S.A. would be part of the British territories.

Though it seemed peace would be sound it did not last. On September the 12th of 1870 a Union* agent noticed slaves being forced to work for the soldiers in one steam tower. Enraged Lincoln declared war on the Confederates.

The war lasted two more years, until it unexpectantly ended in the middle of the summer of 1872. When a black slave (whose name is not shown) invented a machine that could do the work of ten slaves.

They called it Negro.

*It now has been found that the agent was not from America but a British spy named John Wilkes Booth.
