After a month, the succession crisis hadn’t been solved. It was looking like the South would leave the Union. Lincoln finally decided to go to war. But Robert E. Lee retaliated with seizing Washington DC. Since they had the high ground they made the Treaty of Richmond (VA). It said the North would pay 10,000,000 dollars (in 1861 dollars) to the South as reparations. It seemed that the free and slave states should go their separate ways. Lincoln was voted out in the next election.

     40 years later and Teddy Roosevelt ended the Gilded Age. The South had been hit hard by this because of slavery. Teddy broke up the Southern trusts and used the opportunity to abolish the horrible practice. Since Woodrow Wilson was born Confederate, Teddy wins the 1916 election.

     When WW1 broke out in Europe, Germany sent the zimmerman telegram to Wilson. Promising Missouri, Kentucky and West Virginia in return for invading the North. Teddy used this as an excuse to join the war. So the North is Allied and South is on the side of the Central Powers. The Confederacy was no match for the industrial Union. The slaves that Teddy freed overthrew the government. Those who were against racial equality took up their arms. Those who saw Wilson as a dictator fought to keep it intact. The Anti-Wilson army eventually won.
