Confederate Victory V2

A New Nation is Born
Following the battle of Shiloh, the Confederates regained the upper hand in the civil war, and continued their bloody assault against the union lines. As the death tolls mounted with each battle, Jefferson Davis realized that if they continue the current strategy of defensive warfare, that they would eventually be worn down and finished off by the Union, so in response, Davis ordered all the troops to go on the offensive and invade the North, following the sudden change, the Yanks were unable to regroup and were pushed out of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Following their successful attempt at pushing the North out of the Confederacy, General Lee ordered an invasion of Maryland, the United States capital was soon in sight of the Confederates, and at the battle of Washington DC, 1862, the Confederacy was victorious, and it earned diplomatic recognition by Britain and France.

The War rages on
Refusing to surrender, and angered about Britain and France's recognition, America cut off all trade with the two, and continued its war, starting to wear them down. France, seeing this as an act of war, declared was on the USA in Septmber, followed by Britain.

Following the declaration of war, Mexico, wanting revenge for their defeat in the War with Mexico, joined in, followed quickly by other central and south american countries who didn't like the US. With a growing list of countries siding with the confederates, America appealed in vain to Russia, Prussia, and Austria-Hungary for help, though sympathetic to America's cause, Prussia and Austria announced neutrality, Russia blatantly refused, asking why "we should waste lives in a war not our own?".

Easily breaking the Union blockade, Royal Navy lead forces began landing in North and South Carolina, where they spearheaded the Confederate assault as it pushed into Missouri, Illinois, and Pennsylvania. Lincoln, realizing the war was lost, asked the Allies(a term coined by the Confederates to describe the alliance of Britain, France, and the Confederacy) for an armistice.

Accepting, the Treaty of London was framed by the two North American Countries, it allowed the Union to keep most of their states, although a southwestern tip of California was to be ceded to the Confederacy as the state of South California, so they could build their own trans-continental railroad, Missouri and Kentucky were annexed, Deleware was kept in the Union, as was Maryland, the territory of West Virginia was ceded to America, and the Territories of New Mexico and Arizona were admitted into the Confederacy.

Lincoln had no choice but to agree. Following this, he resigned his post after just a year in office, giving it to Democrat John Smith. Smith immediatley ordered all Union forces out of the south and Arizona and New Mexico.
