Great compromise

The Confederates win the battle of Gettysburg. The British and French agree to support Confederate indepence. Seeing the formation of the South as a nation Lincoln agrees to open up negotiations to keep America together.

The terms for the CSA rejoining the USA are the end of slavery with the South being reparated for each one and the loss of each Conferedate soldier, Lincoln must step down, no tariffs for or any fees for dealing with foriegn countries for the South, and for Britian and France the Monroe Doctrine must be ignored.

In 1864 the president decides to aid France in its ongoing war in Mexico. Secretary Seward deciding that in exchange for America's help the USA should receive Baja. Alaska is not bought from the Russians. Soon after is the British Spainish war that results in Britian getting Cuba and the Phillipines.

The 1890s herald the Great land grab with USA, France and Great Britian trying to seize as much of the Caribean and Central America as possible. Seeing Britians and France's growing power and influence in Central and South America the USA slowly begins severing ties with the two countries.
